Hello scripting specialists,

I have a software manual  (> 100 pp), each page is scattered with unlinked
text boxes. I have to extract all the texts for translation. Unfortunately
I've no experience with ID scripting, but is it possible (or has s.o.
written a script that does it) to

- Go into the 1st textbox of a page
- Select all and export to rtf
- use a filename like "page-7-01.rtf"
- Select the 2nd one and save it as "page-7-02.rft"
- etc.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
and a nice weekend

Franz-Josef Knelangen
