Hi

I have a book, now I need to create a report of all headings including numberings, text and their locations. It should look like a TOC but in an external text file.

How to achieve that?

Thanks

I will be glad to help if you have budget for this. I can't do it for free, but if you give me clear specs on what you need, I am sure I can give you a well-commented script that will meet your requirements. Feel free to contact me offlist: rick at frameexpert dot com

Sorry, I don't have budget for this

Anyway, I'll try to parse all the paragraphs and get Chapter/Section/Subsection NumberText.

Thanks.

You don't need an ExtendScript for that. You can just copy and paste the TOC into a text file. Or save it directly from FM to a text file. It won't looks as pretty, but it'll all be there.

No, I still need to do it programatically, because more calculations based on heading numbers and locations are needed.
