Hi Mark,

You can't really do what you're proposing in the way you're proposing to do it.

What you really need to do is to define a series of paragraph Styles, with a consistent layout and numbering scheme and apply these to the various paragraphs throughout the document.

You could have a series of Styles named, for example, Bullet1, Bullet2, etc, for bulleted paragraphs, where the number indicates the indenting level. Likewise for Indent1, Indent2 etc for ordinary indents, List1, List2 etc for indented list-numbered paragraphs, and so on. The Style definitions for the '2' levels would simply be the definitions for the '1' levels with some extra indenting (and, perhaps, a change in the number or bullet format where applicable). Once you've created such a set of Styles, applying them to the appropriate paragraphs is straight-forward and, if you later decide that you want to change the appearance of all paragraphs with, say, the 'Indent' Styles, you'd simply change the Style definition rather than going through each paragraph as you now have to do.
