I am trying to edit in Open Office a doc file created in MS Word by my wife. The text on the first page of doc is surrounded by a box with little green squares on top border (left corner, mid, and rt corner). The cursor turns to an arrow if placed on one of these squares. I cannot edit inside this square. How it got there I don't know but I would like to remove it so I can edit. The same phenomena presents in an odt copy of file. Could someone help me get rid of it? Thanks.

Normally this indicates that the item is an inserted object and not normal text.Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Re: Cannot remove frame in doc file
Ha! Just got the same darned thing in an email. I ended up carefully copying the text out of the box and into a new odt document. I say "carefully" because sometimes you pick up other formatting/box pieces.
I'll be glad to hear about this, too, along with you.
