    I recently started working at a new place. They do a lot of catalogs here and their price points are really complicated. I thought that I would be able to do them much easier using some GREP formatting and some Nested Paragraph and Object Styles.

    This is the result. If anyone is interested in how I did it and would like to test it to see if it could be simplified (I am still a bit of a novice) I will post the Style Sheet information below.

    Using GREP to create and easier catalog price point
