Would there be a way to automate taking all the text from an indesign document and putting it into an excel sheet, where each (unthreaded) text box in InDesign would have its own cell in the spreadsheet?
I basically have 1000s of pages across around 50 different documents and need to create a master excel/sheets document from all the text in indesign.
What I actually need is some sort of reverse data merge but failing that I'm wondering if I could set up actions to copy and paste from indesign to excel. OR from a word doc to excel, because I know I can export the text to a word doc from Indesign but not sure how it breaks up text boxes or pages or how that would then translate to being copied and pasted into excel cells...
TIA!
