Hello Bernd, Joris & List!

Ah, yes - that would be a possibility, which I did not think of - Thank 
you both!
...but in general I was on the quest for a "more clever" meaning here 
"dynamic" approach, I have to admit: So, the aim would be in future, 
just opening the project, printing the atlas without further 
intervention and getting an "up-to-date" atlas...
But in the meanwhile, it should be ok with the "manual" approach.

Thanks and greetings!
Albin
