SYMPTOMS
When you convert to text a table that has text wrapping applied to it and then remove the frame, the text appears in an unexpected place.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because text inside a frame is anchored to a specific paragraph. When you remove the frame from a paragraph, the text is repositioned at either the beginning or the end of a paragraph.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Reposition the Anchor
Before you remove the frame after converting your table to text, do the following:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) On the View tab, select the All check box. The All check box is located in the Formatting marks section of the View tab.
 * 3) Click OK.
 * 4) Select the frame around the text of the converted table.For more information about how to select a frame, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type How do I select a frame? in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.


 * 1) In the left margin of your document, an anchor should be visible. Click and drag the anchor to the paragraph where you want the "unframed" text to appear. For example, move the frame anchor to a blank paragraph mark.
 * 2) After moving the frame anchor, and with the frame still selected, click Frame on the Format menu, and then click Remove Frame.

Method 2: Reposition the Text
Select, cut, and paste the text to reposition it after you remove the frame. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Select the text you want to move.
 * 2) On the Edit menu, click Cut.
 * 3) Move the insertion point where you want the text to appear.
 * 4) On the Edit menu, click Paste.
