Yes, you can use inline prompting to read a record, an attribute, value or sub-value from a file. The syntax is:

        <<F(filename,itemid{,attribute{,value{,subvalue}}}),text>>

It's been a while since I last used this and who knows what changes have been made since release 7! I don't remember whether the text is required or what it would be used for. The manual says no spaces are allowed. Give it a try.

Is there a way to read from a file from within a Paragraph ? I know you could do it from the old Procs, but unfortunately I need to execute
this from Paragraphs.
