    Is there a way (with GREP perhaps?) to located only the entire contents of the first paragraph within a certain style and change it to a different style?
    I have examples styles in a book and the editor decided that the first paragraph of the examples should not have an indent.
    So I input .+/r with to find the “example” style and replace with “example first” style.
    But that doesn’t limit it to the first paragraph only.
    If there’s a way to automate, that would save me a lot of time…

    Thanks!

    Rivkah, what makes the first para to the first para? If you can describe a rule for that (first para in a frame, first para after heading 1, first para in the story …), chances are good, that there is a solution with grep or a script. Please provide a example as idml.

    First paragraph with style “example” applied.
    There is no unifying factor of what precedes it or what comes after.
