Reply To: Paragraph style management and naming issue

The first paragraph uses the 'body' style, the second paragraph is the same except it has the 5th word bolded so I make a new paragraph style named 'body bold 1' that has a nested style. The third paragraph now needs to have the 8th and 9th word bolded, so I create a new paragraph style named 'body bold 2' that also uses a nested style. And it keeps going on like this!

Just curious: are these for paragraphs that come up again and again, e.g. you have lots of paragraphs with the 5th word bold, and lots of other paragraphs with exactly the 8th and 9th word bold? If not and you just want to embolden arbitrary words in a paragraph, you can use just one paragraph style 'body' and then just set the words that require it to bold manually, or if you're worried about clearing those manual overrides inadvertently, make a character style called “bold” and use the character style for those individual words. Apologies if this is way too obvious…
