    I just found a workaround! Instead of setting my default paragraph style as the smaller font size, I made it the larger font size. Then my GREP style says any characters repeated more than 8 times will be my smaller font size. It works perfectly. Thanks again for your help.

    Hi David, thanks for the reply. I’m sorry to say that didn’t work. I’m trying all kinds of combinations and am not solving this mystery.
    I’ll try and visualize this in case my explanation wasn’t very clear.
    The first names that are more than 8 characters (which include hyphens and spaces) would be the normal paragraph style at 36pt. Eg. Christopher
    The first names between 2 and 8 characters would be 42pt. Eg. Jane
    Sometimes I have a longer name, like Kristina Maria, which needs to stay at the smaller size.
    Thanks!

    Thank you David. I am using the align toward spine feature (which is great) but it’s the indents on each side that’s giving me some trouble.

    Hi Peter,

    This is just an idea, but what if you exported the doc as a tagged PDF. You might then be able to select all the text in the document and copy/paste. There’s a few things to keep in mind when doing it: make sure in your PDF settings under “marks and bleeds” you have everything turned off (or else you’re document info will also be selected for each page).

    Please let us know if this works.

    Often what I’ll do is create a second paragraph style with the indent being the same as the bullet point. Then I’ll set up “next style” options and use it whenever I need to. It’s not necessarily automatic, but does work faster than the soft line break and you have some more control over it.
