      This is a perfect use for Nested Styles, like this:

      i have managed to apply the nested style to my paragraph but it italicizes the 3rd and 4th word of every line whereas i only want to italicize the 3rd and 4th words of first line only.

      In your screenshot everything looks like it should be: The 3rd and 4th word of every paragraph is italicized, but not of every line (and I don’t think that nested styles could do this for every line in the paragraphs).

      My guess is that you will need to create 2 or more different kinds of paragraph styles. One that applies italic to the latin next, and a different paragraph style that does not apply the italic to the text.

      Just For Fun:

      Simple if the user uses a new text frame for each page, 2 Grep styles:

      1/
      Grep code: ^.+?:
      Char Style: Green

      2/
      Grep code: \A^.+?:\K\H+\H+
      Char Style: Italic
