With the option of 'Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files' enabled in InDesign, is it possible having a txt file (plain text) that is continuously updated outside InDesign to keep the formatting inside InDesign?
In InDesign, whenever I update the Link of the text box all formatting is lost.
For a table: Make a table style you point out during importing excel ("show import options" when placing and then choose the desired style).
For text look at this tutorial from Lynda.com http://www.lynda.com/articles/indesign-secrets-how-to-place-and-link-text-without-its-formatting
