ightmost column to type a character or view a pop-up menu of options. This setting determines where the character formatting ends. Below the Nested Styles section of the pane or dialog box, you can specify line styles, which let you apply character styles to specific lines in a paragraph. For example, you might make a character style that applies Small Caps formatting, and then use the Line Styles section to apply that character style to the first line of the paragraph. Working with GREP GREP is a set of codes that let you define a text pattern—for instance, all words that begin with “a” and end with “e.” You can use GREP to search for and replace text based on patterns by choosing Edit > Find/ Change and then clicking the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog box. InDesign Help lists all the GREP codes; alternatively, you can choose from the options in the menu in the dialog box. If you want to save the Find/Change query, you can click the Save Query button, and then later recall it from the Query pop-up menu. InDesign can also apply text styles to text inside a paragraph based on GREP patterns. You could use this feature, for example, to change the font or color of any text inside brackets in the paragraph. To create a GREP style, choose GREP Styles from the Control panel menu (or the GREP Style pane of the Paragraph Style Options dialog box, The original text when you’re defining a paragraph style). Then click New GREP Style, choose a character style from the Apply Style pop-up menu (if you haven’t defined a character style yet, you can choose New Character Style from the pop-up menu), and type the GREP code into the To Text field. Four GREP styles have now been added to this paragraph style. Click the @ menu to choose text patterns, and InDesign types the code for you. The updated paragraph style applies Old Style formatting to numbers, small caps to words of three or more capped characters, additional tracking before and after em dashes, and a different font and color to text in parentheses.

Bullets and Numbering You can add bullets or sequential numbering to selected paragraphs by clicking the Paragraph Formatting Controls icon in the Control panel and then clicking either the Bulleted List ( ) or Numbered List ( ) button in the Control panel. To control formatting, styles, or positioning of the bullets or numbers, choose Bullets And Numbering from the Control panel menu. You can apply automatic bullets or numbers as part of a paragraph style by choosing the Bullets And Numbering pane of the Paragraph Style Options dialog box. For more on bullets and numbering, including how to make multilevel lists and numbered lists across multiple nonthreaded text frames, see InDesign Help. Placing Text on a Path InDesign lets you place text along any path—even along the edge of a closed frame. After creating a path or frame, select the Type On A Path tool, which is paired with the Type tool in the Tools panel. Move the pointer over any position on the path, and when the plus sign (+) appears, click. If you click and drag the pointer along the path before you release the mouse button, text flows only along the part of the path on which you clicked and dragged. If you switch to the Selection tool, three bracket lines are displayed on the type path: one at each end, and a shorter one at the midpoint. Click 44 Adobe InDesign CS4 | Conversion Guide
