Hey, thanks a bunch, Maren.  I'll try these out.

Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] Text extensions

Couldn't find any instructions, either.

Extract:
- select multiple text elements
- in the extension dialog, select how they are ordered on the page (top
to bottom, right to left, etc.)
- apply extension
- get a pop-up with all text blocks summed up into one copy-able text

Probably most useful for imported pdfs with broken-up texts.

Merge:

- select multiple text elements
- select how they are ordered in the document
- apply extension
- get a new text element that optionally preserves the old elements' style

Found two bugs:

- extract: cannot deal with non-ASCII (e.g. ö, ä, ü, é)
- merge: font becomes huge when taken from a flowed text
