I am laying out cards for a game, and have a spreadsheet of values (suit, rank, description, flavour text) - I want to put a placeholder into the design that retrieves the correct information from the external file and inserts it into the Xara file.

InDesign calls this a Data Merge.
Word might refer to this as a Data Field or a Mail Merge.

Is there anything like this in Xara?

Can anyone think of a clever work around that would achieve the same sort of thing?

Thanks
