Jim -

You don't need to run the archive plug-in on each book.  What you can do
is generate an LOR (List of References) file.  Showing text insets is
one of the options you can select when you create that file.  You're
still going to have to touch multiple files and/or books, no matter what
you do.  

Depending on how your file are stored, you *could* create a new book
just for this where you copy in all of the files from all of the books
(or folders).  Then add an LOR generated file the list.  

On the reference page setup, use these building blocks (you can remove
the default pagenum building block if you don't need it).

	<$fullfilename> -- <$referencename>

	fullfilename = name of the path and container file 
	referencename = name of the text inset

You will get the full path and file name of the container document, and
then the name of the text inset.  Use a tab to divide the two building
blocks so that you can easily convert the text in the generated list to
a table and then sort it by the text inset name.

Hope this helps.
