Dumb and need help - inDesign and Dejavu

Hello world. What is happening is that I am a translator who usually works with the Dejavu and very simple files (mainly * .doc). This time I have to deal with an original *.indd (a catalogue of art). I tried my best. Downloaded a trial version of inDesign, exported the *.indd to *.idml so that DejaVu could handle, but Dejavu, for some reason, couldn't handle. It was not a good start, so much the worse I used this same fear that my lack of experience could turn out to be fatal (a file fully translated into DejaVu I would not be able to export a day prior to the date limit, for example).

Now, because I don't really want to not get into this frightening situation and because my client is very happy to receive a translation of the text here only, and a.doc file adapt its fine, I thought I could spare me the hussle and simply copy the text my *.indd ALONE in a *. doc. Is this possible? Could you tell me how to do it, because I'm inDesign opening for the SECOND time and I desperately need detailed directions...

The task is urgent, just for a change.

In the future, I promise I'll put my mind and my time and learn to deal with all this. Time I should realize that we ARE in the future...

I would be very grateful if someone could help it.

Thanks, Jongware. I dreamed of an answer like: you can copy THE WHOLE TEXT at once, is this a thread or multiple ones, especially because two of the files I work on are full of legends and the thing is going to take me ages anyway. But I guess that's the best I can get, isn't it?

To do this, you can call the actions panel (it's windows, Automation) and run the script 'ExportAllStories.jsx '. It is somewhere inside the Applciation subfolder > samples > JavaScript.

It's kind of dumb in that it exports * all * management text in a separate export file so you will need to paste together in a single Word file, but at least you know you had all the.

When I open the file the cursor is a striped pencil line. What it means? Hope you can have the kindness to eplain this too...

This layer is locked: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-70e8a.h tml, subject "lock or unlock layers. In short, evoke the layers panel, unlock all layers, and then try again. (If you use the ExportAllStories script that perhaps not even necessary.)
