Google took me to http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/64 and I'm on page 15 and still not finding what I need, any suggestions?
My org has hired a content editor to clean up our site's copy. They want to deliver to this person a list of documents for all the pages (by pages I mean nodes) that they can edit in a word processor. We'll then copy and paste them back.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this?

Clarifcation
I mean they want a bunch of documents that they can edit in a word processor. They don't want to edit a list, they want each individual document.

Node Export
Node Export http://drupal.org/project/node_export with Views Bonus Pack http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus should allow you to export your nodes to either DOC or txt files.
Oh, awesome
thanks, I will try that tomorrow. That's exciting to find out about.

re-import exported nodes?
I don't suppose that puts you in a position to re-import the exported nodes?
Would this work for a list of users by any chance?
ok, tried it, don't understand
Can you explain how to get this to work? I've enabled it, created the view, told it to use doc, gave it a path. I think it's set up right (the docs are sparse). When I try to view the feed I get a page not found error, but its not a normal 404 error. It looks like a generic browser based error.

It's working for me
I installed Node Export, Views, Views Bonus, Views Bulk Operations and Devel on a clean Drupal 6 install tonight. Created 50 "Page" nodes and was able to get both DOC and CSV exports to work. I am attaching an export of my test view. I am thinking you might be hitting your PHP memory limit...not sure. What version of Drupal are you running?
@Todd - I didn't try re-importing, but I have used Node Import in the past to get CSV data into the database. Yes I also created 50 users and exported a csv with lots of user info (see attached csv)
figured it out
There's something wrong with the doc export in the version on the website. I updated to the -dev version and it works ok.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Just remembered that there is
Just remembered that there is a setting in the Node Export admin that let's you choose between saving the file locally or providing it via a url (requires a public filesystem) the default is to save locally. I can't test it right now, but I would guess that could be your problem.Never mind thats not it.
