How do I get rid of text boxes in ppt 2007

Hi everyone,

Please see attached the slide.
All the text is placed in different text boxes. I would like to copy text only, paste it in another slide so that I keep the text and formatting (the colours) only but get rid of the text boxes. Is it possible at all?

I hope you can help, it's driving me mad ;-)

Thank you

thank you, but did you do it manually? I was thinking more of an automatic way to click somewhere that says "delete text box and leave text and formatting only".
And I'll pass on the message to the person who created that slide ;-)

I did it by opening a new Title and content slide and pasting in the text and then adding a table for the bottom text. I doubt if you can do this any other way its a mess.

I attached a new version
