    I want to automate set tabs for lines and I feel like there should be a GREP for this.

    Here is what I want/need:

    I need the first line to have a number, then have the words after to be tabbed. The the next line/ paragraph to tabbed to a different distance. Then I need it to repeat to the next line. Here is an example of how I want it to look:

    1 Your love, for ever will I sing; *
    from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness.
    2 For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; *

    Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks!

    Hi Rheta, Why don’t you use the Next Style feature and create your paragraph styles with required indent and number-lists.

    However, as per your brief, here are my findings. Check and let me know if it works for you.

    GREP Find/Change:
    Step1:
    Find What: ^(\d)(\x{0020})(.+)
    Change to: $1$3

    Step2:
    GREP Find/Change:
    Find What: ^(\d.+\r)(.+)
    Change to: $1$2
