It would be very helpful if you could use an excel table to import in layout autotext table.  
E.g. i would have some translation from technical special terms to coustomers “easy” description,  
I could just switch between these. I just need a conversion table for translation, in Layout I can enter  
 and assign it a .  
Or I could make some calculations, then I could use in Layout  
the and the .

I hope it is understandable, what I mean…

Sorry for my post before, this video was not yours, now I understand…  
And I completely support you for freedom in Ucrain, I was there in 2005, such a beautiful country and  
friendly people! It breaks my heart to see what is happening!  
May the Ucrain be as soon as possible again free and peaceful!
