Hello
Great tutorial.
Can you also apply next styles using TABS instead of ENTERS?
Thx a lot.
A most handy tip. The same technique should work with how I handle inset quotes, with the first having more space before and the last having more space after. It has a similar issue with the middle paragraphs, which have no added space before or after. There’s no ‘next paragraph’ trick to apply a middle quote style to all in between, however many they are.
I wonder if there’s any way to create scripts that deal with an indeterminate number of repeated paragraph. It’d certainly be handy for speeding up layout.
This has been implemented in CC 2019. Word could do this a long long time ago!
