     These boxes have names: they are frames. I also noticed that the 
the entries used fields as placeholders.
     My suggestion is to copy the website to an empty Writer document. 
Then begin at the bottom by copying the text of the last frame and 
pasting it below the frame. Then click the line of the frame to 
highlight it. Delete it. Next do the same thing to the next frame up. 
Continue this process until you have deleted all of the frames.
