I'm working on a catalog layout and have all product information is a csv file. I'm using data merge to import this into Indesign so that my paragraph and character styles stay intact.

Other people will be editing the csv file on a regular basis so ideally, I would like to link all of my text in Indesign to the csv file so the new information automatically shows up in my indd document. Is there a way to do this when using data merge fields?

There are plugins, XCatalog by Em Software comes to mind, but that isn't an inexpensive solution. However, it does babysit the process. Does InCopy provide any options for you?
