      I am updating a book for a client.
      I have the open InDesign file but the headers were all done manually rather than with a text variable.
      I redid the masters and reapplied to the pages, but the text is still there.
      Is there a way to locate all those text boxes and delete them without manually deleting page by page?
      I can figure out how to find the text with GREP, but I want to delete the actual text box.

      Tough one. I was going to suggest Find/Change Object on All Documents but that will only find and change object *formats* not actually delete a found object.

      Unless someone has a script, you might just need to take 30 minutes and do that manually.
