Hi Eric, FrameScript would be better for this. It has an EActiveXObject object that can poke into Word files and get to the content. If you want to explore this further, please contact me offlist. Thanks.

Is it possible to use Extendscript to import a specific portion of a Word document? My company records various specification information (paragraphs, tables, graphics) for our products in Word documents, and a portion of those Word documents contain information that will be imported into our FrameMaker manual files. I was tasked to find out whether an Extendscript could be used/created to pull in only the specific manual information. One idea that was offered was to place some text identifier, such as <Manual Only>, at the beginning and end of the manual portion of each Word spec document. If there are better ways to tag this information, please let me know. Also, please be aware, I have no influence on these spec documents; I just have to use them. Thanks.
