Grep Styles for an Entire Paragraph

Question

Hello all,I'm very new to the GREP Styles (just discovered it yesterday) and I'm wondering if there's a GREP Style to be able to detect a certain word in a paragraph and change the color of the entire paragraph based on that word?Background: I'm working on a card project that has color-coded text based on the subject matter and there's a total of about 48 cards ranging with 8 different subject matters. I'm just trying to see if there's a way to color code these paragraphs on each card without needing to manually do it. In this case, I want the entire paragraph 'We're investing...communities' to be the tinted orange. I'm hoping there's a better solution (or script!) than me manually selecting the text on all these cards vs me just selecting keywords.

Hi Vinny:I can see your point. In the spirit of continuing my GREP education, how would you write this differently, given the one example from the OP?~BarbThat would be something like:(?i).*\b(safe)\b.*where(?i) switches GREP to Case Insensitive mode.* (instead of .+) so there may be zero or more characters before the word in question\b \b forces word breaks before and after -- i.e., this is one "entire word"( ) -- parenthesis around the word to look for -- is so you can use a single GREP for multiple words, using the OR | bar to separate them (like|this).. and after that, a word break to end the word and zero or more any-characters all the way up to the end.Ha, I see Vinny indeed came up with this exact same expression!
