editing a scanned document

How do i remove a frame in a scanned document transferred to word?

Approach 1:
• Open the file which has frames in MS Word
• Save the file as a Plain text file.
• Open the new text file you have just saved in Notepad or WordPad or some
other text editor.
• Now Select all the text by pressing Ctrl+A, Copy and paste that into a New
MS Word file. Then Save it with any name you want. Frames are gone.
Approach 2:
Another approach is to copy everything in the Word document (i.e. File
containing Frames), paste all the text into WordPad, copy all the text in the
WordPad document, and paste it back into the Word document. This is done
because WordPad doesn't support frames and it will get rid of frames. This
round trip approach will remove all the frames.
Approach 3:
Select the entire document (i.e File with Frames) by pressing Ctrl+A, and
then press Ctrl+Q. This will set every paragraph back to its default condition

Frames are part of the paragraph formatting and often used by (poor) OCR
software to format documents, making them very difficult to edit.
Right click the frame and select format > frame from which you can remove
the frame, though don't be too surprised when doing so screws up the
document formatting.
