You can export the text along with a lot of other properties of the TextBox by doing this:

Sub myExport

  ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TX01").WriteXmlPropertiesFile "d:\temp\textbox.xlm"

End Sub

You will have to pick out the text by finding what is enclosed by <Text> and <v> tags... the XML-file contains hundreds of lines:

<QVObjects>

  <TextObjectProperties>

    <Layout>

....

....

.....

      <Text>

        <v>ABC</v>

      </Text>

.....
