    Hi Peter, in my experience, the more structured your layouts, the easier database publishing becomes. Currently, I’m exporting data from our database with xml tags and using a custom plug-in to flow copy and images onto the page. It’s nothing fancy, but way cheaper than a commercial package. Years ago, I used plug-ins from Meadows Publishing Solutions to tag each element being imported, which worked well for unstructured data and charts. I believe they are still available from Meadows. Hope this info helps.

    Thanks so much Aaron, this will work in 95% of the cases. However, in those rare instances where there is more than one character after the price, only the first character is reformatted. I thought changing (o|t|f) to (?+) would solve this but it didn’t.

    Thanks Aaron, it’s closer, but still no cigar. Using that GREP, if there is a t or f before the price, the style is changed, but not the o. After the price, the t and f change as I want, but not the o.

    Thanks Aaron, where does (/K) go in the GREP string? Like this?: \$*.* o|t|f(/K)
