Nested character styles

Thanks for your responses, folks!

This is what I'm looking to achieve.

I've found a work-around, as described in this jpg but it means ading an extra rogue character in all of the copy lines. Is there a more elegant way to achieve this automated formatting?

There is the special End Nested Style character that might be useful Type>Insert Special Character>Other:

Hi Matthew,

A couple of things:

• To have a nested style in the middle of a paragraph, you will need two nested styles, each with a trigger.
• The trigger can't be a word. If you try to make the trigger "Adobe", for example, it will look for an A or d or o or b or e, whichever it finds first. This is great for punctuation where you can use .,; for the trigger.
• You can create a character style and apply it with GREP if the text fits a pattern.

Please tell us more about what your situation with that screen shot so we can give you the best approach.

Hi Matthew:

We can help with this, but I am echoing the need for a screen shot. Otherwise we are just guessing at what you need.

There are no nested styles in InDesign. Are you taking about Grep Styles? If so then give an example of what you intend to find and apply the character style to, some screenshots of what you did, what works and what you intend to make it work will help
