    Hello,

    I’m typesetting painting captions, where there are dimensions in in. and cm., for example:

    Use A: 48 1/4 × 40 3/8 in.

    Use B: (122.5 × 102.5 cm)

    At the moment, in many cases, these run onto the next line, is there a GREP style that will keep the full dimensions together? Please note, fractions are typeset as proper fractions.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Grep style:

    \d+.+?×.+?(in\.|cm)
    char style: + nobreak

    Thank you so much!
    There’s one issue, sorry!

    Please see screen shot https://drive.google.com/open?id=18wkLz6-Is9rOF7VFyC1CjRdwvxTrQtJ8

    Rather than the dimensions being attached to the text that goes before it, ie the top caption in the screenshot (top text box) show’s the dims attached to ‘…panel,’, the dims should start on a new line. So both forms of dimensions should start on a new line, if they don’t fit as a group. I hope that makes sense?! You can see when the caption box is made narrow (bottom text box), the text disappears.

    Thank you Obi!

    Looks to me that you need to separate the No Breaks as separate GREP Styles one for the in and one for cm

    \d+.+x.+in\.

    \(.+cm\)

    If you want the first Dimension to be at eh start if a line I think you will need to do a FIND/REPLACE to add a break character (this adds a soft return before the in measure)
    Find
    (\d+.+ x.+in\.)
    Change to
    $0

    Now I will wait to Oni-wan to suggest a better way.

    Should have combined these two
    \d+.+x.+in\.|\(.+cm\)

    [\d.]+\D+?×.+?(in\.|cm)

    This will be enough:

    [\d.]+\D+×.+?(in\.|cm)

    (without the first ?)
