How to save as rtf. in CS4

Probably a stupid question but how do I save an InDesign document as an rtf document. In cs3 it is under the export menu but not in CS4. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to select the text.

It is equally under the export menu in both versions. But you can't export a whole document as rtf, only text or stories. If you have text selected (or a live insertion point in a story) then the selected text or story can be exported to rtf. But if you don't, then the rtf option is not offered.

You could use a script to export your text (stories) to .rtf. You will

find the script here:

Good luck

Oh, my bad. I just found out that the script I recommended does not work

in CS4.



Sorry for the mistake

Paul

This one works in CS4.

Copy the script you find there in a text-only application (like Notepad)

and save as ''ExportAllStories.jsx'' or save the file and replace the .txt

extension with jsx.

Note: Make sure that all comment lines are preceded by // .



Copy the script in your scripts folder (usually Adobe\Scripts\Scripts

Panel\Javascript



Good luck

I noticed right after posting the message that the script is obviously

copyright protected. Therefore I did not upload it to the address

indicated. Unfortunately AdobeForums does not allow me to withdraw a

message when using a newsreader.



Sorry for the trouble.

Paul

The ExportAllStories script is one of the sample scripts installed by default in InDesign. Just open the scripts panel and navigate down through the application folder to the samples folder and pick your flavor.
