}Sorry, I forgot about the option to cancel the script in the previous script. If you canceled the previous script it would still change the margins. This script has been updated so if the dialog box is canceled the margins won’t change.

This article should tell you how to do that. https://creativepro.com/create-spread-numbers.php.
The article goes for one side of the document but can be set up on both sides.

If you are typing the diary as you work, one way you could do this is by applying the body style as the next style for the date header. Then create a character style with only an underline and set that as a grep style in the body to text: ^.+\z. If you do it this way, you will want to put in a right indent tab (Shift+Tab) at the end of the last line. Though I’m sure Kai will have a better solution when you provide before/after screenshots. :)

This won’t work if your last paragraph is more than one line.

You will need a new paragraph for each additional sequence (e.g. If you want to go to 1.A.a, you will need three paragraph styles. One for the 1, the A and the a.) For sublists you need to make sure each numbering section is in the same list with a level higher than the previous sequence and you’ll need to check “continue from previous number” and “restart numbering at this level after:” and choose “any previous level”

After posting i realized that all of the periods need to be escaped in the abbreviations..

This code will be the one you should use unless Ari comes up with something better. =P

Photoshop EPS embeds a bitmap image in a EPS file and isn’t capable of saving transparencies. Try saving as a PNG or creating the logo in illustrator and exporting from illustrator as EPS.

Also make sure you don’t have a nested style that might override the GREP style as well.
