Question

A GREP command to find bullet paragraph styles that come before body paragraph styles

Like the title says, I am looking for a GREP command that would allow me to find and replace bullet styles that come right before my body styles. 

Ideally I would be able to find all bullets that come right before body text and replace them with a style that has more spacing after it. This is so I can have a little extra space between bullets and Body – while keeping normal spacing between different tiers of bullets. (Using the "space between same style" creates awkward spacing between bullets of different tiers.)

 

I hope this makes sense!  - and if this does not exist, it would be a great feature to add. That, or an option within paragraph styles that allows for the styles to behave differently when followed by another, specific, style. 

Thanks!

Just a question: are there footnotes in your doc?

Nope! But there are endnotes.

Other Question: are there "sub-bullets" paras with a "sub-bullet" para style applied?

 

You could take a look:
