A few quick points:

* While we wanted to include the ability to move text and page items from one document to another, and I actually thought we'd do it this time, we didn't.

* Exporting and importing tagged text is not a bad way to go, provided you're not using a multiple master font. Tagged text does now include all table formatting, and includes tables nested within tables.

* You can also move the pages containing the text, and then move the text. This might not be a bad way to go. Here's an example:



//MoveTextByMovingPages.js 
//You can't move text directly from document to document (without relying on 
//import/export or copy/paste. But you can move pages from one document to another, 
//and you can move text inside a single document. Therefore.... 
//This first part sets up two silly documents, each with a single page, text frame, and story. 
var myString 
var myDocumentA = app.documents.add(); 
myString = "zebra\rmanatee\rdog\rcat\rchimpanzee\rgorilla\rcow\raardvark\rgolem\r" 
myMakeDummy(myDocumentA, myString); 
var myDocumentB = app.documents.add(); 
myString = "potato\rtomato\ryam\rlettuce\rpear\rwalnut\rbok choy" 
myMakeDummy(myDocumentB, myString); 
//Duplicate one of the pages. 
var myPageClone = myDocumentB.pages.item(0).duplicate(); 
//Move the duplicate page to the end of Document A. 
myPageClone = myPageClone.move(LocationOptions.after, myDocumentA.pages.item(-1)); 
//Move the text from the duplicate page into the first story in Document A 
myPageClone.textFrames.item(0).parentStory.move(LocationOptions.atEnd, myDocumentA.pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0).parentStory); 
//Delete the duplicated/moved page. 
myPageClone.remove(); 
function myMakeDummy(myDocument, myString){ 
	myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0); 
	myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight; 
	myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth; 
	myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.left; 
	myY1 = myPage.marginPreferences.top; 
	myX2 = myPageWidth - myPage.marginPreferences.right; 
	myY2 = myPageHeight - myPage.marginPreferences.bottom; 
	myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {contents:myString, geometricBounds:[myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2]}); 
}
