Exporting Lots of Text

[Neil_Kempshall@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I am using InDesign (as part of CS2 for the Mac) on a G5 Quad Power Mac with 4.5 GB RAM running OS 10.4.7

I have a 60 page document and would like to select all the frames containing text and export the text to a format that can then be opened in an application such as Microsoft Word.

Does anybody know how I might be able to achieve this?

Any help offered would be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Neil

Hi Neil--

You can use the InDesign example script ExportAllStories.jsx (which you can find in an archive containing all of the other example scripts at:

<http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/xml_scripting.html>

This script exports each story as a separate file, and can export as InDesign tagged text, RTF, or text-only.

You might also take a look at Rorohiko's TextExporter script, at:

<http://www.lightningbrain.com/frame-pages/r-textexporter.html>

This one exports all stories to a single file.

Thanks,

Ole
