I'm working on InDesign 2 (Windows) and I need to export text from a file to be translated. I'm also very new to scripting!

I'm using the ExportAllStories script to export all the stories as tagged text files, and I'm trying to rewrite it so that it will reimport the files back into the correct places.

However, I can't find a way of importing text into a story - I can only seem to import text into textframes. My current plan is to try and find the first textframe of each story and import text into that - has anyone got any suggestions on how to do it, or any other advice. It would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave
