    Hi, everyone, especially greetings to TC! Thanks for your kind help. I’m sorry I still don’t know how to do. Could u tell me the steps in details base on the situation I’m sitting in, pls? I’m a graphic designer which use Indesign everyday but don’t know how does the program work technically. Thanks.

    1) I’m using Mac OX10.5.6, when I use Text Edit to save your scripts, the limited file format for me to save is: RTF, RTFD, HTML,Web archive, odt, docx, doc and Word 2003 XMLFormat, I don’t see any options I can save it as a .jsx file. How can I do?

    2) I’m using Indesign CS3, the script folder is not located in the Presets folder, there’s an independent folder named “Script” under the path of Indesign CS3. Also, as another responder said, there are 4 sub folders inside the IDs Script folder, I don’t know which one should I put it in.

    3) If I should put it into the “Scripts” folder, inside the Script folder, there’s a folder named “Scripts Panel”, then “Samples”, then 2 folders named “AppleScript” & “JavaScript”, c u tell me which one is the right one, pls?

    4) How should I do after then? Restart Indesign, then open the artwork, start to export text from the artwork? The biggest problem is: The limited options I can choose from the Export menu are: PDF, EPS, Indesign Interchange, JPEG, SVG, SVG Compressed, XML, I don’t think any one of them is a text file format. How can I do?

    Waiting for your prompt reply as I’m doing an urgent job needs to export the final text from Indesign CS3. I’m not sure if TC still active on this forum, can anybody knows more than me could supply helps?

    Thanks & Regards.
