Hi Denis,
No, this is not possible – directly. But it is easily done using a simple script (especially on a mac as the command line has all the necessary scripting capabilities built right in). Or simply transform each line in ren "A" "B" (windows) or mv "A" "B" (mac) and run this on the respective command-lines (A and B denote each source/destination filename and don't forget the quotes if there are spaces in your filenames).
You could also transform your excel/word file into a code replacement file and use PM's code replacement feature to rename the files in question (use \{filenamebase}\ as the rename string). This comes perhaps closest to what you want.
Hope this helps,
Hayo
