Converting text in Draw document to editable Text in Word Processing

Question

I have created a Draw document consisting of photographs and text. I now want to send the text only to a colleague for sub-editing. How do I convert the one to the other, please?

Answer 1

The easy way:
--[SCRIPT extractRawTextFromAWdraw]
Open an AppleWorks Draw document
run the script.
You will get on the Desktop a text file entitled
"extractedRawText.txt"
containing the document's raw text.

on run
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
tell document 1
set textBoxes to get text frames
set rawText to ""
if textBoxes is not {} then
repeat with i from 1 to count of textBoxes
set rawText to rawText & "text frame #" & i & return & text body of item 1 of textBoxes & return & return
end repeat
end if
end tell -- document
end tell -- Appleworks
if rawText is not "" then
set nomDuRapport to "extractedRawText.txt"
set p2d to path to desktop
set p2r to (p2d as text) & nomDuRapport
tell application "System Events"
if exists (file p2r) then delete (file p2r)
make new file at end of p2d with properties {name:nomDuRapport}
end tell -- System Events
write (rawText as text) to (p2r as alias)
end if
end run
