MemberCreate a Character Style UNDERLINE and then NESTED STYLE – Underline Upto 2 Words.
Done.
As it is only for one specific Paragraph Style this seems to be the easiest way.MemberTrue but a Nested Style would be the easiest and quickest approach. Sure you can do it with GREP but I would not thing that is the best way in this case. If it was across an number of different paragraph styles then I might use GREP.
Always a good idea to learn the best solution. There are better examples of when and how to use GREP.MemberWhy GREP how about a Nested Style??
MemberAre the two documents set up in a Book file?
If they are you can keep them in sync.
https://creativepro.com/work-faster-long-documents.phpMemberInDesign creates a temp file as you work on a document (.idlk) in the same folder as the working document. InDesign deletes this file when it successfully saves a document, if it crashes the file stays there and itf it is corrupt InDesign will crash when you relaunch.
Delete or move this file then try reopening your original document.
If this works I would then export to .idmlMemberYou need to put up an example so we can see what your source and final result you want.
MemberIf you are doing a data merge then merge your icon (make it a PDF or .ai file) as well.
MemberHave a look at these images os how I set up a table like you want.
In the CELL STROKES dialogue box you can select some of the strokes set them to say 0pt then select other strokes and set them to say 0.5pt. Only the strokes selected will be affected, see the Adobe user guide

From the example you showed at the beginning I would tackle it this way.
Create Paragraph Styles for your Header row format (eg Bold) and the Data rows format (eg Regular)
Create a Header Cell Format, this will include the Font (eg bold), the cell format which has no strokes.
The create a Body Cell format, Font (regular) and stokes top and bottom only in the style you want eg 0.5pt Solid 25% black.
Then create a new table, Insert Table, set the Table Dimensions to be how ever many columns and rows you want and ONE HEADER ROW (you need this for the next step) and then select the New Table Style from the Drop Down at the bottom.
Now Name your new table style
Click OKNow you can create your table.
You can also use this Table Style to update and control tables, click a table and then click the table style you want.
Change the cell styles and the tables will update,
Is that what you are after??May 10, 2018 at 4:30 pm in reply to: Find/Change paragraph style only overrides local formatting #103645MemberAre the Italics in Medium and Light in your document now?
If they are then you can find the Medium Italic apply a Medium Italic character style. The find the Light and apply a light italic character style.
You can specify using any or all of font, paragraph, character style etc to find and apply character or paragraph styles.
Then you can run your script.MemberYou are going to need a script, try Obi Wan.
May 9, 2018 at 8:55 pm in reply to: Find/Change paragraph style only overrides local formatting #103622MemberYou can delete on Paragraph Style and you will be asked what to paragraph style to replace it with. No search required and the local formatting is unaffected.
If you have Character Styles applied again this formatting will stay when you do the FIND/REPLACE ALL.
Why it is different between FIND and FIND ALL I’m not sure.Use Character Styles for the local formatting and you will not have the issue in future.
You could even set up the Character Styles and do a find and replace to apply this to your current document then you can run your script without the issue.MemberHave you set your keyboard shortcuts to a none standard set???
To select the whole table move your cursor to the top right hand corner of the table until to changes to a 45º angle arrow, then click. DO the same to above a column or beside a row and the arrow will point down or right, click to select or click and drag to select multiple rows or columns.
Once selected use the shortcut (it does work) or use the Cell Style from the Table Menu
The you can apply the format you want.Or read the Adobe tutorial for Table Formatting.
https://helpx.adobe.com/au/indesign/using/formatting-tables.htmlMemberUse Cell Options in the Table Menu.
Shortcut is
OPTION COMMAND B
or ALT CONTROL B
Then go to the Strokes and FIles tab and select the strokes you want to adjust, style, colour weight etcMemberMichel so true, your syntax is much better.
But why would punctuation split from the text unless there is a space separating it.
If this is the case we could use.[[:punct:]]
To apply NO BREAK
Apply this in the paragraph style.
This would keep the punctuation together with the text. But the real solution would be to remove the space that is causing the break. -
