Hi Barb, thank you so much. While I was waiting for your reply I came up with very similar solution: I created 3 character styles: 1) Green Shading 2) Yellow Shading (based on green shading) 3) No Shading (based on green shading, but disable all caps, and change character color) Then I also used the en dashes to control the spacing, then apply nest style to the paragraph. However, there are two problems I see: 1) In the future if there are more figures, that mean I have to reformat the figure titles with this exact amount of en spaces, so it can be quite tedious. I guess I could use GREP find and replace function for this. 2) More importantly, unlike paragraph shading where you can control the spacing to be fixed, the yellow shading will change in width according to the character: As you can see, Figure 2 will have less width than Figure 15, which isn't what I want. I want the yellow shading behind the numbers to be of the same width. Do you know if there's a solution to this? Willi Adelberger – perhaps you could help? (don't know how to mention your name since it has space in it, hope you see this)
