ToolPac 7.0 from http://www.dotsoft.com contains several Text Export
routines. Export text in the order selected or simply window off the
text and choose the 'topdown' option. The most elaborate routine allows
you to simply window off a table of text in the drawing, BOM's for
example. It determines the number and order of the rows/columns of text
objects automatically and exports the information to a comma delimited
file that can be opened up directly in Excel.
