Indesign: first two text frames with larger font size

New Here ,
Jun 12, 2025 Jun 12, 2025

Hi, I would like to format a text with Indesign so that the first two text frames have a larger font size and then return to a normal font size. Do you know how I can do this? I have tried nested styles and greps but still can't get it to work.

Thanks  🙂

You'll need multiple paragraph styles for this.

Hold on the Command/Ctrl key (Mac/Windows) and the Shift key while scaling up the text frames.

Sorry, I'll add some more information. I've already created two paragraph styles and it works, but I'd like this to happen automatically, so that even if the text flows, it resets itself. I also tried with the nested line style, applying a larger font style, but then it applies it every time the text wraps.

Other than what @jmlevy has suggested there's really no way to automate this so it will change properly with text reflow.
