Superscript part of a word

Hi,

I'm trying to find a GREP for Indesign that will put the last character of a name in superscript. I can't figure out how to look for the name but then only apply the superscript to the last character.

The name is always "Vanessa+" (for ex.) and the plus needs to be in superscript.

I've tried finding "plus/space" but there are also calculations in the text so that is not specific enough.

Anyone any ideas that can help?

Thanks

Vanessa

You can do this with a GREP Style. Create a paragraph style to apply to the paragraph and a character style for the superscript. In the paragraph style define the GREP style using a positive loosbehind as shown in the screenshot.

Either a GREP style or an nested paragraph style would solve this depends on the outcome you need.

Is the name always Vanessa+ or is any first name followed by a +?
