Just by curiosity, what kind of “nested style”?

If you want to style all the tables of your doc like you show us, you’ll just need … a basic “6-code-lines” script!

Just need to wait for a scripter who could do it for you for free!

Could you post a saple screenshot?

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
myParaStyle1 = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item(“X”),
myParaStyle2 = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item(“Y”);
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myParaStyle1;
myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
var F = myFound.length, f;
for ( f = 0; f < F; f++ ) myFound[f].applyParagraphStyle (myParaStyle2, false);
app.findGrepPreferences = null;

When I read “beginning of line”, I don’t read “beginning of para”! … So …

About the way you write your grep code, I prefer: ^[.,;?!:…] more readable! ;-)
