Hi Iain, You can reference the text string value with this expression: ObjectInfo(obj,3), but it only works on text objects.
And if you split the tables into a table with regions and a table with texts, you can join these on "texts.obj within regions.obj", and transfer the text string value from table "texts" to table "regions". Provided off course that the text anchor points are inside the regions, but it seems to be a reasonable assumption from what you write. Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
