Reply To: Help me please: underline combining with indent problem

Hi there

Nice puzzle.

Here’s a script-free workaround:
What about anchored objects? A black line followed by a white one.
Using object styles, set custom position accordingly: x-pos related to text frame or column + indentation for the black stroke. X-pos related to insertion point for the white one). Remember to place them somewhere on your pasteboard so you can easily select and copy them.

Then, run a Grep Find/Replace to locate your “boldCap” words and use ~c metacharacter to insert your 2 objects after your word. (Nota: In the example below, it will work only for a single word)
Everything should keep flowing nicely.

If you have to add a new “starting word”, remember to select your two anchored objects markers before running your F/R query (that you can save btw).

Oh, and in case your white stroke overlaps another element, remember that Effects > Stroke affects… every stroke ^^
