Hi,
I have rather unusual problem. I’m working on a book with many chapters. Now, when the book is almost finished my client wants the first two paragraphs WITHOUT the first line indent and than all the other paragraphs in the chapter WITH first line indent. I set paragraph style for text with first line indent. Is there a way to do this without going crazy through 600+ pages.Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks, Maya

Hi Maya,
I hope that every chapter is having its own story. i.e. the Chapter starts with a new Text box. If that is so, then you can try this:using GREP Find/Change:
Find what:
\A.+$\r.+\rFind Format:
Paragraph Style: WITH First Line IndentChange to:
This will remain blankChange Format:
Paragraph Style: WITHOUT First Line IndentGREP code: \A.+$\r.+\r
(slash A period plus dollar slash r period plus slash r)Let me know it it solves your problem.

Hi, i have a similar question, where the above would not work: I would like to apply a second paragraph style to the second paragraph of the footnotes.
I am working off an imported word doc that has no styles applied. So i found the majority of the footnotes using GREP: (?<=~F)\\t\\s(.+) and applied the footnote paragraph style (and also replace the tab with period, hence the extra code in the grep).
But there are some footnotes that have a second paragraph where i would like to use a first line indented paragraph style, but i cant figure out how to select that paragraph by itself – being that there is no unique characters here to look for.
I tried using this “(?<=~F.+\r).+” (thinking i can select any paragraph following a paragraph with a footnote reference, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Any advice? Thanks!
