    You best solution is to get your GREP correct or more explicit,
    The second solution is the make a second GREP, character style to REGULAR. with the Industry Terms, male them very exact and place lower on the list of GREP so it overrides the first GREP.

    I assume you mean this will be at the end of a word with no space as a â„¢ would be added.
    If this is the case you could use GREP in you Paragraph style to do this, it will not be perfect as there are few word it will do incorrectly (eg spasm, chasm, plasm, abysm, microcosm and all words ending in ‘i’).
    Most words that end in sm actually finish with ism (probably about 95%) so this uses that idea, Give it a try and see if works for you text

    Are the First Line and Second line the same level in a numbered list?

    Do the captions need to be live??? If not you can convert them to Static Captions

    https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/captions.html
    When you generate a live caption that displays a long string of text, such as a Description, the caption does not break across lines because it is a variable. If a caption is compressed into a single line, consider converting a live caption to a static caption. To convert a live caption to a static caption, select the live caption and choose Object > Captions > Convert To Static Caption.

    Relink cross-references

    If the missing destination text has been moved to a different document, or if the document containing the destination text is renamed, you can relink the cross-reference. When you relink, any changes made to the source cross-reference are removed.

    1. In the Cross-References panel, select the cross-reference you want to relink.

    2. Choose Relink Cross-Reference from the panel menu.

    3. Locate the document in which the destination text appears, and then click Open.
    If any other destination text appears in that document, you can relink additional cross-references.

    The relative links will work when all the files are placed on the new machine.

    Would it be worth considering placing all the PDF that are linked to on a public webserver and then hyperlink to them there? That way only one file have to be sent to the customer and there should be no issue with the links [not working.

    Just a thought.

    Should have combined these two
    \d+.+x.+in\.|\(.+cm\)

    Looks to me that you need to separate the No Breaks as separate GREP Styles one for the in and one for cm

    \d+.+x.+in\.

    \(.+cm\)

    If you want the first Dimension to be at eh start if a line I think you will need to do a FIND/REPLACE to add a break character (this adds a soft return before the in measure)
    Find
    (\d+.+ x.+in\.)
    Change to
    $0

    Now I will wait to Oni-wan to suggest a better way.

    in reply to: GREP locate second comma in a paragraph #101262

    (?s) Single Line ON
    ^ Start of paragraph
    .*? FInd any character Zero ore more times Shortest match
    , Followed by a comma
    .*? FInd any character Zero ore more times Shortest match
    \K Positive Look-behind
    , This is what the positive look behind is matching if the above conditions are met.

    \K allows for the use of the wildcards that the normal positive look behind does not.

    Very nice Obi-wan

    That is a better solution

    This is not elegant but should work for you
    Add these GREP to your paragraph style
    The first one will make all the text bold up to the second comma, the second will then over ride the first style to make the text roman. They have to be in this order to work.

    Style – BOLD
    ^[\u]+,[\u]+,

    Style – NORMAL
    ^[\u]+,[\u]+

    What type of file do you need to supply to the printer?
    If it is a PDF file then facing pages or not in InDesign does not really matter as you can export the PDF with bleed as required on all pages. Non facing pages normally have equal bleed all round so set this bleed in the export dialogue box.
    If they need an InDesign file then it gets more complicated as Claudio has suggested.

    Bleeds seems to be a hot topic at the moment, remember that most modern prepress workflow systems (from Kodak, Agfa, Fuji, Screen, Esko etc) will crop pages and manipulate bleed as required at pagination. We do 24 pages full colour self cover magazines and just export these with 3mm bleed all round (not as spreads) the workflow does the rest, trims the bleed where required. It should not be that big an issue.

    Adobe can be strange with what features they include in one program and exclude from others.
    Adding the appearance panel from Illustrator to InDesign would be a great.
