Can Automator rename files to this extent?

0

Hi guys. Wow Automator has saved me a ton of time. Rather than manually place ~2000 images into InDesign, it did it for me in minutes My dilemma right now though is that I have about 2000 files, that correspond to a person. So I have an excel table that says the file name, and person’s last and first name. The files were named arbitratily, however, so when I open the folder containing the 2000 files, the first person on my list might be near the bottom. Is there anyway I can possibly use Automator to take, say the names in my excel list, and rename the files they correspond to? This seems like a total shot in the dark but I can’t think of any other way to approach the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
