Reply To: CS3 GREP novice help / advice

I don't think you need GREP, just a nested style should do it. Be sure you have a character style that only applies Bold styling to the text. I'll call the style Bold in this example.

Edit the paragraph style that you're applying to those entries.

Let's say the paragraph style is called Entry. Double-click the Entry paragraph style and click Drop Caps and Nested Styles. Add four nested styles (just click New Nested Style button to add these).

There are 4 fields in each Nested Style that you need to specify: Name of character style, Up to/Through, a number, and a stop character. You can manually enter a comma in the stop character field.

So your nested styles should be:

NONE | Through | 1 | ,

BOLD | Through | 1 | ,

NONE | Through | 1 | ,

BOLD | Through | 2 | ,
