Hi. Is it possible to use Extendscript to import a specific portion of a 
Word document? My company records various specification information 
(paragraphs, tables, graphics) for our products in Word documents, and a 
portion of those Word documents contain information that will be imported 
into our FrameMaker manual files. I was tasked to find out whether an 
Extendscript could be used/created to pull in only the specific manual 
information. One idea that was offered was to place some text identifier, 
such as <Manual Only>, at the beginning and end of the manual portion of 
each Word spec document. If there are better ways to tag this information, 
please let me know. Also, please be aware, I have no influence on these 
spec documents; I just have to use them.

Thanks.
