I had a pdf converted into a word document, but every paragraph is in its own
text box. How can I get the document to be just one thing?

You can use this macro to convert all the textboxes to frames and then
delete them.

Sub RemoveTextbox()

Dim MyBox As Shape
For Each MyBox In ActiveDocument.Shapes
With MyBox
.Select
.Line.Visible = msoFalse
.ConvertToFrame
End With
Next MyBox

Dim MyFrame As Frame
For Each MyFrame In ActiveDocument.Frames
MyFrame.Select
MyFrame.Delete
Next MyFrame
End Sub

If you need help installing the macro, see
