End a nested style
In most cases, a nested style ends where the condition of the defined style is met, such as after three words or where a
period appears. However, you can also end a nested style before the condition is met using the End Nested Style Here
character.
1 Place the insertion point where you want the nested style to end.
2 Choose Type > Insert Special Character
> Other
> End Nested Style Here.
This character ends the nested style at that point, regardless of the nested style definition.

Create GREP styles
GREP is an advanced, pattern-based search technique. You can use GREP styles to apply a character style to text that
conforms to the GREP expression you specify. For example, suppose you want to apply a character style to all the
phone numbers in text. When you create a GREP style, you select the character style and specify the GREP expression.
All paragraph text that matches the GREP expression is formatted with the character style.
