I need to extract a large amount of text from one document and move it into the cells of a table in another.

Am I right in thinking that the only way to do this within reason is to copy and paste? Or is there a move command available?

What if I had the table in the same document (it doesn't matter if the document becomes messed up. The ultimate goal here is to export the table as RTF, open it in Word and then copy and paste it into Excel.

Or perhaps I can copy and paste directly to Excel -- Hmmm. Just thought of that. But that would mean learning to script Excel, and I'm on a very short fuse. I don't need elegant; I just need something that works quickly (that is, something I can make work quickly).

The text has superscripts, subscripts, italics, and Greek symbols that must be preserved; indeed, the Greek symbols must be switched from Myriad Pro to the Symbol font: thank heaven I kept them in a do nothing character style called Symbol! I think I anticipated that getting them back into the Symbol font might be necessary.

Right now, I'm thinking copy and paste, but if anyone has any ideas I can use quickly (I need to start delivering spreadsheets by Friday), I'd be appreciative.
