Building Grep and Nested Styles

Thank you for the help everyone! I appreciate you all clarifying how something like that is supposed to function. Everything was achieved by setting up the 3 paragraph styles, removing all empty paragraph breaks, and then applied the paragraph style with "next style" selected. 

Thanks so much!

Hi @Connor Paschall:

Nested and GREP styles are handy when you want to change the formatting of the text within a paragraph. I'm with @SJRiegel: you can do with this paragraph styles alone. 

Edit: Just saw @Willi Adelberger's reply so back to confirm, you are showing us exactly what you need in the finished file? I don't see the need for a nested style, either.

I see no need for GREP styles, 3 paragraph styles, 1 nested style with 1 character style.

Please avoid empty paragraphs as you use them.

The way this is currently laid out,

Firm Name

Date, Position, Location

Job Description

would be paragraph styles, not character styles (each one is its own paragraph)

If every new item contained all three sections (with no empty paragraph returns between), you could achieve this using Style, then Next Style.

If next style for Firm name was Date, Position, Location, next style for Date, Position, Location was Job Description, and Next Style for Job Description was Firm Name. You could then select all, and right-click on the Firm Name paragraph style to choose Apply Firm Name, then Next Style.

For this to work, you must remove those stray extra returns (use the space before setting on Firm Name to add that space - that is how is should be set up in any case)
