Reply To: GREP and figure legend formatting

Uh-oh. Seems the GREP style ignores paragraph Bullets & Numbering …

It makes some sense, as this type of numbering is something ID “tacks on” to the start of the paragraph. If you check with the Story Editor, you will see the text is not there!

Only two options this time, I'm afraid. First is to adjust your Bullets & Numbering setting — you can automatically have a character style applied to the custom numbering. I'm not sure what happens with cross-references to this same list, though; they might pick up that style as well. I guess you just have ta try it.

Second, you can change your fancy custom numbering to plain text — but then you'll loose the automatic numbering.
