But I don't think that's what you want for thousands of files. I think you would only be able to do that via scripting. You should post this in the InCopy Scripting forum, or over in the InCopy section of the InDesignSecrets.com forums.A good number of excellent ID/IC scripters hang out there.

I am working with a few thousand articles that need to be typed and typeset which all have similar formatting but in some cases the "next Para style" changes changes based on whether or not certain elements exist for that specific article - every possible element has a pre-defined para style. Trying to automate the assignment of para styles as much as possible by typing into a field as opposed to having someone manually apply the styles later. Any recommendations?

There was a duplicate post and then another duplicate posting of the original. Clearly contact information should be included. No one seems to be reading these posts.
