The programme selects the polylines on the BOUNDARY layer, the vertices of the polylines act as a selection for any text inside. If there is no text, the polyline is deleted from the selection set, otherwise a list is created with the text string and the corresponding polyline area. The rest is easy, the table is created with the list data in the AREALIST variable.

@confutatis my 2¢ might want to add a closed poly check when selecting the polylines on the boundary layer. you can still return an area on an open polyline and it might not be the full plot area. (if (not (and (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")(8 . "BOUNDARY")(70 . 1)))))) Also I didn't know this about 3 months ago but WP works great with polylines unless its has arcs. if you use the polyline vertices with WP selection window it will cut corners when their is an arc. Example it wont pick up "test1" text because its outside the white selection window. granted this probably isn't a problem with plots, but caused quite a bit of finger pointing at my work when one of my commands wasn't picking up everything "inside" the polyline. fix here

The program adds rows to the table, selected additional polylines, without having to redo the table. If an area is already present in the table, it is not inserted again in the table.

It has worked for me, I thank you again

Try plotting with the latest DWG TrueView. If that doesn't work, something is amiss on your computer and not AutoCAD 2017. You should try to post the file here as well.
