Extract the paragraph tags used in the TOC

Is there a way in Extendscript to extract the paragraph tags used in the TOC? I see them in the book's MIF as DeriveTag, but I don't see a property or method that would return them.

I think this may be what you are looking for. Select the TOC in the book window and try this code:

#target framemaker
var book, bookComp;
book = app.ActiveBook;
bookComp = book.FirstSelectedComponentInBook;
alert (bookComp.ExtractTags);

Thanks again, Rick! I searched "Adobe FrameMaker Scripting Guide" and the Internet for a solution, but found nothing, which prompted my post. Do you have some suggestions for good search words?
