Where did 'Apply [style name] then next' go?

Question

In the past you could style an entire document by selecting the first line of your text, right clicking your style and selecting "apply [style name] then next". This feature was great for formatting large lists (ie phone directories/company directories). This feature seems to be gone in CC 2018. Is there another way to do this with existing text?

Never mind. I have to select all of the copy not just the first line for that option to show.

It's not gone. Here's how to do it:1. You need to set up a sequence of styles which each call out the Next Style in paragraph styles.For example: Headline, then Byline, then Initial Paragraph, then Body Text. And Body Text also calls itself.2. To apply the formatting, select all the text. Right-click on the first style to be applied in the Paragraph Styles panel (Headline in the example) and choose Apply [style name] then Next Style.
