danjacoby Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Don't think it' possible to print a script unless there's a plug-in available. Can't say as I'd want to try editing a script in MS Word -- or any other program for that matter. Either the script is simple enough that you don't need to mess around with programming "on paper", or it's complex enough that you need to be able to test what you've done.

The Bridge Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 If you are using Mac, look for Print2Pict at www.versiontracker.com. It is a Chooser extension that lets you print to a text file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 I have also heard that in Windows there is a printer under the Generic Section called Generic/txt... Personally I find Acrobat handy for this. I print my field definitions and scripts to a Postscript file, run it through Distiller, then I can search for things pretty quickly.

Newbies JAG Posted February 13, 2002 Newbies Share Posted February 13, 2002 Is it possible to print a script to file so it can be imported into a Word processing program? Being able to do this, and to edit the script would greatly assist the documentation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the script is simple enough that you don't need to mess around with programming "on paper", or it's complex enough that you need to be able to test what you've done. Thanks for the input. I was hoping there would be some way to export the script to a text file. I want to do this because sometimes I wish to take part of a complex script (or all of it)to put in a document I am writing to document a program. If I could do this, I could insert the script and add a lengthy discussion of how the script works. I do this manually now and find it invaluable for some time in the future when I need to trouble shoot the program. I obviously don't do this for simple, direct scripts, only complex, invloved ones where the logic is not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 There is a plugin that does that. Supposed to be pretty cool. I'll think of the name right after I post this but it IS available. It had the word "script" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsmith Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Not the best solution, but I sometimes print the script to a pdf file and the copy and past from there to Word to do documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
