A script to loop a Mutiparagraph Style in indesign

Question

I am trying to work on a dictionary document. I have created Paragraph styled for each paragraph but I noticed indesign does not allow you to loop more than three multiparagraphs styles in canva. I wanted to know if there was a script for that.

I have created Paragraph styles that goes like this

1. 'Apply Style 1 to Line A'

2. Apply Style 2 to Line B

3. Apply Style 3 to Line C

4. Apply Style 4 to Line D

5. Apply Style 5 to Line E

Sometimes a word might have two meanings so:

6. Apply Style 1 to Line F

7. Apply Style 2 to Line G

7. Apply Style 6 to Line H

Is it possible to get a script for multiple paragraph styles like this.

Hi,not exactly sure what you meant by 'loop more than three multiparagraphs styles in canva'.Also not sure what are the paragraph structure for Lines F to H so can't offer a scripting solution.If you wanted to go with the 'Next Style' method, you could create new paragraph styles for lines F to H, e.g. Style 6 that is based on Style 1 for line F, Style 7 that is based on Style 2 for line G and Style 8 for line H, and each paragraph style has a Next Style set to the next paragraph style (except the last paragraph style). You select each dictionary word paragraphs and right-click the paragraph style 'Style 1' to choose 'Apply Style 1, then Next Style'.
