Hi all,

Some time has passed since the original article was written – in the meantime, TextExporter has been going through a few updates.

The good news: TextExporter for CS5 is available. The not so good news: we’re not giving it away for free any more – the costs of maintaining and supporting a broad range of freebies was getting a bit too much for comfort, so we’re converting some of our freebies into commercial products, and TextExporter is one of them.

You can try it out for about a month, and after that you’ll need a US$19 license – but we’re sure that for most people, TextExporter will have paid for its license the first time they use it.

It’s pretty smart at ‘connecting’ unthreaded text frames in a logical order, which can save you tons of time.

Hi Aricia,

Try downloading the latest version from our web site – we’ve been tweaking some bugs away and added some new features – with a little luck things should work better…

I have been using Text Exporter in InCopy CS3, every thing works fine till I change my Order of the text boxes in the InDesign … now my rtf Export is not in the same order then my InDesign … any Ideas?

I need a solution for InCopy because the customer don’t use InDesign.

Cheers,

Aaricia

This post saved my life! Okay – maybe not my life, but I’ve been trying to figure this out for the longest. I knew there had to be a way. Thank you so much.

It is important to remember that virtually all plug-ins (and many scripts) must be updated when you update InDesign.

Hi Daniel,

We have an updated version of the TextExporter in the works – please e-mail us at support@rorohiko.com, and we’ll send you a beta version to try. With a little luck that should work better…

The latest beta of StoryTweaker should work as-is with CS4; if you find it does not, could you be so kind to send us a bug report on support@rorohiko.com? We cannot fix bugs we don’t know about! Thanks so much!
Cheers,

Kris

I have been using Text Exporter in InDesign CS3 for some months now, yet after upgrading to CS4 I cannot get it to work. Installing the last version makes CS4 crash at start-up. In trying to find an update I came along StoryTweaker which is a wish come true yet it also does not work with CS4. Am I missing something?

i installed rorohiko’s exporter, and while it works great to create the rtf or text file that i need…it crashes indesign each time it’s finished exporting. i am running it on cs2 (though i have cs3 installed on my machine). i am a mac user running leopard. any tips would be appreciated. thanks!
