Well, ↵ is a newline… :) Well, it's the Enter key, but it produces a new line. > > (Or perhaps: a tab delimited file with text in columns.

Well, I am not sure at the moment, I am sure there will be a lot of searching on the Internet for some suitable methods to use, and I would probably be using ”xray” very frequently in order to create something that works. I am not an expert in any way with macro programming. I think a macro can do everything that can be done manually and quite a lot more, so I would probably try to find how to execute the CSV import thing and let the macro set the values, but right now I don't know how to do such a thing, but I'm convinced that it's possible (but not 100% sure, of course).
