    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me with a GREP expresson that finds the character “: ” and replaces it with nothing (deletes it)

    I want to do this in a paragraph style because I want to keep the “:” in other places.

    You can’t replace with something else (in this case, nothing) in a GREP/Paragraph style…only apply a character style to the found text. There are ways of making it LOOK gone (like tiny font size and fill of none) but I don’t like that since the character is still there.

    If it’s just that you want to only do this to a certain character, you can do this in Find/Change and only search by Paragraph style (choose in Find Format box). But if it’s always “:” then you don’t need to use the GREP tab…just the Text tab will work fine.
