Reply To: HELP WITH GREP Find any text but not inside parentheses

If I understand the question, you want to change all text in a given character style, unless it’s between parentheses.

One way is to duplicate the character style in question, and name it “char style parens”

Then, you could find all the all the text with the character style that IS inside parentheses, and apply the new character style to it. It should look identical; the only difference will be the style name.

Then, you can find all the rest of the text with the original character style and it should be what you were looking for.

I hope that was what you were looking for!
