>> Rorohiko is a fine purveyor of many InDesign scripts and plug-ins. One of our favorites is TextExporter, a utility that comes in so handy, so often, that you forget it’s not part of InDesign itself! Use TextExporter for those times when you need to extract all the text from a layout and put it into a single external text file, as plain text or formatted (RTF). Free 20-day trial, and when you realize how essential it is, you’ll be happy to see the affordable, flexible pricing for single users and groups.
