Text variables in INDD CS4

Ok, imagine that I have a csv file that has the following 10 fields always in this particular order: 1. Job number 2. Job name, 3. printing x/y, 4. etc, etc.

Can I create a text box in INDD that I put into my library. I want it to pull 1,2,3,4 except that I want my text box to say, "Job Number_(field 1)" etc.
IE, populate this text box easily.
Real world example would be a proof check sheet that is 2 inches long and 1 inch tall that sits in my library. I would "somehow" hook up to the data and it would populate and put this text box into my document before pdf.
Any hope?
