    %spinfolder-<filepath>%

    You can insert anywhere. It grabs .txt from folder randomly.

    If you right click on the field you would like to use the article in and select 'Use contents of a random file', then just navigate to the folder that contains the articles then that will set the macro up for you. That's the easiest way i've found so far anyway

    How do you set up the .txt files? As you know, there are many section that you have to insert a lot of text ( articles, descriptions... ) do i have to create diffirent folder which contain different part of articles for those field?

    The short answer is yes, create a separate folder for each different type of content.

    You can use the %spinfolder% macro for the articles/titles/summaries (anything really). Just create a separate folder on your PC for each individual item (article, title, etc). In each folder, create a separate text file for each individual article (or title, etc). One special feature of this that @Sven added ---- If you name the files in each folder something that ends in a number (article1, article2...title1, title2...summary1, summary2), it will use the matching files from each folder. That way you can make sure that the article/title/summary all match.
