    I have a catalog with thousands of items, and I need to generate a list of item numbers and prices for my client.
    I made a TOC of all item #s and prices, but some of the items are in anchored frames, so they come in to the TOC within the frames. When I copy it to a spreadsheet, all the anchored text is ignored.
    Is there any way to extract all that text?

    I have used this script for that:

    (function () {
    	var stories = app.documents[0].stories;
    	var ix;
    	for (var i = stories.length-1; i > -1; i--) {
    		while (stories[i].textFrames.length > 0) {
    			ix = stories[i].textFrames[-1].parent.index;
    			stories[i].textFrames[-1].texts[0].move (LocationOptions.AFTER, stories[i].insertionPoints[ix]);
    			if (stories[i].textFrames[-1].locked) {
    				stories[i].textFrames[-1].locked = false;
    			}
    			stories[i].textFrames[-1].remove();
    		}
    	}
    }());
