If you need this to be a script because you plan to do it often then the following code will output a csv file (which by default should open with Excel) with the heading and text of each object in the document.

Object o
Module m = current
Stream outfile = write("SomeFilePathHere.csv")

for o in m do
{
  outfile << o."Object Heading ", " o."Object Text" "\n"
}

close outfile

Otherwise James's response is accurate for avoiding scripting.

Is using dxl a strict requirement or is the real requirement to export the Heading and Text attributes to excel? Because you can do that without using DXL.

You need to create/modify a view (temporary or persistant) in the current open module with exactly the attributes you want. Object Heading and Object Text in this case. Remove from the view any other attributes, which are all the default attributes, and then add the new attributes. The best way for you to do this is probably using the Edit->Columns... menu item which opens an Edit Columns Dialog.

Once you have the view, then it is a simple matter of going File->Export->Microsoft Office->Excel...

I am using 9.3.0.3, but from what I remember 9.2 really is not that much different.
