      I want to know if it is possible to convert/apply a bullet list style to a paragraph of text using a script or some other option in ID. Basically, I don’t want to have to go through each spread and hit enter at the end of every sentence. Is there a way for ID to add a line break/carriage return at the end of each sentence so the text takes on the bullet list style?

      The text is coming from an Excel CSV file and is being pulled into ID via the data merge utility.

      Thanks all.

      Search and Replace: In the search field enter a dot. In the replace field enter a dot and choose “end of a paragraph” by clicking on the @-symbol, plus in the change format field select the paragraph style you want to apply.
