can't delete text box word 2007 Subscribe

I am using Word 2007 and Windows Vista. I inserted several text boxes, and
now want to delete them. I have selected the box and hit delete, but it is
not working. I am sure the cursor is outside of the box, not in the text
portion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are they floating? This may be a bit of a bug. Try right-clicking and making
them In Line. Then select and Delete them.

I had the same thing happen with a drop down list. Select it, click
Properties on the ribbon, uncheck "Content control cannot be deleted"

Hope it works!
