Inserting a special character with GREP styles

Jun 22, 2012 1:48 AM

Hi.

I wanna define a GREP style that makes this: if I write Bluetooth I wanna that a registered trademark is added at the end of the word but with superscript format. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

No, GREP styles only apply formatting, they cannot insert characters. Use a regular find & change to do so.

(There is a thinking-outside-of-the-box solution. If you have access to a font creating utility, you can create a character 'h' with TM attached to it. Then you can use a GREP style to automatically apply this custom font to just the 'h' of 'Bluetooth'. See http://indesignsecrets.com/insert-a-special-character-with-grep-styles .php.)
