Copy all text in a LibreOffice Draw drawing

I have a large flowchart, created in LibreOffice Draw (3.3.1), that I would like to copy all of the text from. I do not need, nor care about the order or structure, I just need all of the text from within the blocks.

I can't seem to find any way to export without turning it into an image, and none of the "Paste Special" options allow me to get unformatted text.

Is there a way to do this without retyping everything?

Hmm, superuser keeps correcting the "draw" tag to "drawing". – wersimmon – 2011-06-04T03:11:51.063

Although not direct, you could try:

Export drawing as PDF
Open it in PDF viewer
Select All (CTRL+A)
Copy selected text to any text editor

I had assumed exporting as a PDF would also convert it to an image, but it does retain the text on top of the objects. Thanks! – wersimmon – 2011-06-04T21:53:40.467
