Hi Kelli, that’s awesome that you want to learn how to script InDesign! This sounds like a great example of something that could be scripted.

(As others have said: If it were just 4 or 5 words, then grep styles would be okay. But if you had 20 or 200 or more words, then a script is the way to go!)

Here are some resources for learning scripting:
