      Hi,

      I use GREP to locate digits in paragraph styles, and apply an old style figures character style to them. But if the numbers have another character style on them already, for example Italic, the GREP doesn’t work for me. Is it possible to search for any digits with the italic character style applied, and change them to an italic old style figures character style?

      I can do this in the find change, but I would like it to be automatic in the paragraph styles if possible.

      Thanks!

      No, with GREP styles you can look for text only, not any formatting.
      By the way, do you really need that character style? Many modern fonts have old-style figures built in, which you can set in your paragraph style at ‘Default figure style’ (sorry, had to ask).

      I hope, in the future they work on this feature as one bundle part of the styles that it can work the same concern.
