Automate a repetitive task when importing word document into indesign

Hi @CleberRafael,

Here's a quick script to do what you want. It will search the whole document for paragraphs that begin with a letter with ). Let me know if it works for you. See attached document for example paragraph style with numbering.

    var doc = app.activeDocument,

        // the regex to find answer paragraphs
        // paragraphs that start with a) b) c) etc.
        myFindWhat = '^\\s*[a-z]\s?\\)\\s+',

        // change the found text to this
        myChangeTo = '\t',

        // put your paragraph style name here
        changeToStyleName = "Respostas",

        // get the paragraph style
        changeToStyle = doc.paragraphStyles.itemByName(changeToStyleName);

    if (!changeToStyle.isValid) {
        alert('There is no paragraph style named "' + changeToStyleName + '".');
        return;
    }

    // reset grep prefs
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = myFindWhat;
    // comment out the next line if you don't want to change the found text
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = String(myChangeTo);
    app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = changeToStyle;
    // do the change
    doc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().changeGrep();
