Compiling all posts in a forum topic to word or text file

Hi,

does anyone know if it is possible to select a forum, or a topic within a forum, and export-compile all the the posts within that topic or forum, to one single word document or text file, with the date, and other header information formatted either as nested, or flat file?

Thanks,

Andrew

I would also like to be able to do this. Did you find a way of doing it?

I too would really like to be able to do this. I'd love to know if someone knows how to, or if someone knows of a plugin to allow this to happen.

It would help out greatly with weaving and summarising a forum which according to the excellent Gilly Salmon is "the absolute key E-moderating job." At the moment I have to manually cut and paste each thread which in a busy discussion can be a big job.

Hope someone knows a way of doing this,

Seth.
