Hi Angela
sorry, missed that about the book.
I have been googling around this today, and will now point you to https://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/
Their Text Exporter (towards the bottom of the list) does a terrific job without all the formatting crap (I got that too using TC’s script – no offence meant, Tim).
When I had a problem (this morning) I emailed support and got a reply within an hour or so. Turns out I hadn’t had a problem at all — it hadn’t asked me for a ‘save as’ filepath and I though it hadn’t saved. In fact the .rtf file was just sitting in the same folder as my .indd files.
Going on their website’s claims and the support I had today from Kris, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could assist you with exporting from a book.
Post back to let us know how you go.
Cheers and good luck –
Celia

Hi Angela and Sophia
Just found this thread! Hope it’s not too late to help you out –
I saved Tim’s very helpful script (thanks so much, TC!), then searched InDesign help and worked this out… FYI I’m running CS3 on Win:
With InDesign closed, save the .jsx file you’ve saved a few layers down inside the Scripts folder, into the JavaScript folder. Here’s my filepath…
C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe InDesign CS3ScriptsScripts PanelSamplesJavaScript
Then open InDesign and open the doc you want to export.
Go to the Window folder > Automation > Scripts.
Click on the Scripts tab.
Navigate this filepath: Application > Samples > JavaScript
You’ll see the list of java scripts (.jsx) and in there will be ExportAllTexdt.jsx that you saved with Tim’s script.
Double click it to run it and choose your format (I chose .rtf) and where you want to save the file.
The result for me was a bit confused in its rendition of a TOC and the footer from the Master page pops up every now and then in an odd spot, but I’m happy to wrangle that, as the hugely long doc is now all there in MSWord.
I’m not a techy, just a communications officer who plays with InDesign…so go forth and good luck!
