    Greetings from Melbourne Australia O enlightened ones!!

    Since I caught up with you guys in Washington, I've been cranking out GREP like it was candyfloss.

    However, I'm stuck with a bit of a problem.

    1: When I define a GREP style as part of a Paragraph style it works fine

    2: When I define another Paragraph style based on the first style, the GREP portion doesn't seem to be inherited as I would have expected.

    So I guess that I'd like to know how I can copy all the GREP styles from one Paragraph Style to another. And I have plenty of 'em!

    If I could find out where the style is stored (I don't mind cracking into some JS or XML files if necessary) I could just copy 'em accross.

    Perhaps there's a script available for this??

    Please help URGENTLY !!!

    In anticipation I wait.

    OK I found something that looks like it might work:

    https://www.kahrel.plus.com/ind…..ditor.html

    However I noticed that when I tried to copy styles, it wouldn't address styles that were part of a group (folder)

    Anyone else get an answer, please publish.

    Cheers

    That's a bit of a quizzler mate. The only way I can get to loose the “Based on” GREP style is by putting any GREP style in the new style before changing the Based On name. I have no trouble at all with my own flock of styles, all based upon a single great-grand-parent style, and I can add, remove, and edit GREP styles all along the way and see the changes propagate downwards.

    It's possible to script it but it would need a cumbersome dialog (copy from what to what paragraph style) — I guess if the normal lines of inheritance don't work properly, it's easier to just copy and paste the expression.

    What exactly do you mean by ‘parent paragraph style’? The based-on style or the parentstyle group?

    Hello,

    I did a script to copy/paste GREP/nested and lines styles from document to document.
    It store style in a text file.

    There’s a first panel for copying and saving styles.
    A second for styles selection and paste them.

    And you can store styles, and use the text file as a quick memo for copying/pasting usual GREP.

    The script :

    The text file :
