    I’ll try the first option.
    Forgot to mention that I already tried the second way, but I also had trouble with the cross-page part.

    Thanks.

    Pssshhhhhhhhh!
    David, as usual, has saved the day :)

    (Wondering why I never did this before…)

    Right now there certainly is no distinct pattern.
    The q then is, will it take longer to make a pattern or to just go through manually. The recipes only take up about 100 pages of the book. So a pain, but maybe just easier to do one by one.

    Oh well.
    There’s a lot of italic transliterations so I don’t see that happening.
    Thanks for the info.
    I thought ID could translate italics to italics – like Arial italic from the Word file into my font italic in my ID file.

    Thanks, David!

    1. I will try that. But what about all the italics/bolds?
    2. Yes – thanks!

    I made 2 different kinds for different books.

    One of them had the word or words in a foreign language followed by a tab followed by the English words (and the other way around in the next sections: English word or words followed by a tab followed by the foreign language word/s). This was in a text box of 2 columns.

    The second one was also formatted in a 2 column text box, but it had left aligned text and looked like this:
    Word in foreign language / transliteration / translation
    with a rule under it to separate one from the next.

    In both examples above, the 2 languages were the same font.

    Do you have tabs between your words of a single phrase?

    Oh no – that WAS the problem.
    I’m working in CS6 and only had one GREP style in the paragraph styles – one that prevented orphans – just as you wrote.
    Thanks for finding my problem, Gert, but what now? I only just dove into GREP and was so happy to add grep styles as a way of minimizing my manual work.

    Eek. Didn’t work.
    Any other ideas?

    I had come across that post on a search of the site (I do try to search things first before starting a new post…) but nothing seemed relevant to this file.
    I will try the IDML and see if that fixes the issue.
    Thanks, David!

    I figured as such – just wanted to make sure.
    Thanks for the link, David. I’m going to try it out.

    You can either import it as a table and then apply a different style to an entire column in the table, or -what I did when I did a dictionary – import it as tabbed text. You can then use nested styles to apply the style to the words located after the tab.

    Cool.
    I’m going to try it.
    Thanks for taking the time to explain.

    Thanks Aaron.
    Nice at least to know I haven’t missed something fundamental :)

    I’m not familiar with \K – what is that?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    There is something perhaps I did not write clearly enough – or that I didn’t understand from your answer – and that is that there are a number of rows of these problems going across horizontally.
    Is there something in the above that spaces these?

    Thanks, David.

    One thing I’ve kinda wondered over the years is why can’t ID have all these cool plugins etc. packaged in. The people in Adobe ought to be smart enough to make all these things work, no?
