Make different font style (Bold, Bigger) all text before the FORCE LINE BREAK

[sarahkay]

Hi All,

Can you help me how can I make a different font style all the text before the FORCE LINE BREAK.

It should be like this.

PULLMAN BRISBANE KING GEORGE
SQUARE

PULLMAN DELUXE KING ROOM

Thanks so much!

Why not just use two paragraph styles?

Sorry I forgot to mention... This content is from XML, it automatic comes in. And they only use one text field. So the style should be automatic. Can detect the force line break to style all the content before the force line break. I hope this make sense....Thanks!

Nested Style. Make a character style for bold text, apply that for all text up to a forced line break.

As often said, I don't find this "nested style" use really interesting! …

See the result when no soft-return!

More control with a Grep style!

Best,

You're correct about that, Michel.

However, speaking as a teacher, I can say that 95% or more of InDesign users will not use Grep styles (unless they are given them as a formula) because they're too hard to learn. Just a fact of life.
