Try this,

var myWindow = new Window ("dialog", "Export DOC");


myWindow.orientation = "row";


var myInputGroup = myWindow.add ("group");


myInputGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "Enter your Page Number:");


var myPage = myInputGroup.add ("edittext", undefined, "");


myPage.characters = 10;


myPage.active = true;


var myButtonGroup = myWindow.add ("group");


myButtonGroup.orientation = "column";


myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");


myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");


var myResult = myWindow.show ();






if (myResult == 1)


{


    for(i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.pages[Number(myPage.text)-1].textFrames.length; i++)   


    {


        myFileName = "Page_" + myPage.text + "_"  + i + ".rtf";


        myFilePath = "/d/word_files/" + myFileName;


        myFile = new File(myFilePath);


        app.activeDocument.pages[Number(myPage.text)-1].textFrames.texts[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.RTF, myFile);


    }


}

Hi,

1) Run "SplitStory.jsx" javascript file (javascript files will be available in "Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript" location)

2) Run "ExportAllStories.jsx"

3) Each an every page will be exported as a separate word document

Note: If each page have multiple stories then it will also exported as a separate word document.

Hi,

I tried your solution but it exports a lot of extra files. I even tried running Merge_Textframes_ID.jsx before exporting. And the file order is not according to the page.

Is there a way to save text only from the current page?
