I use the following code to export Text from a Textframe (VBS)

Set myText = myFrame.Texts.Item(1)
myText.Export "Text Only", "textfield.txt", false

What happens ist that only the text that is visible in the textframe is exported, and not the whole text (there's too much text to fit the textframe). If i export the Text manually in Indesign it exports the full text, but this script does not.

How can i export all the text in the textframe? Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for any hints.
