I am still learning to use Apple Pages. I have pasted a lot of text into a text box, but I now realise I want the text, but not the text box. I don’t want to retype the text.
I can’t figure out how to get into the text box and edit the text - if I could highlight the text, “cut” it and past it onto another page I could delete the box.
OR
Is there a way to just delete the text box and keep the text?

You double-click over the text in a text box to access it, then press ⌘-A to select all of the text box content, and then copy and paste that text into your document body, or out in another Pages document for safe-keeping. A text box is a container, and when you delete the text box, anything within it is removed too.

There is additional help available, whether in the Pages Help menu, or from these other sources:
Thank you so much. It’s so easy when you know how.
