2 styles on 1 line

Hi,

Is it possible to get two different styles on the same line? I have set-up
some styles in a document, and need some words on a line in one style, and
the rest in another. Even though you can highlight some of the text and
change the style, which changes the formatting correctly, the whole line
still stays as the same style name.

I need to do this as the Word doc is to be taken into Adobe InDesign which
uses the word styles to style its text.

Thanks,
Steve

If all you need is a change of font formatting, you can use a character
style. It's also possible to apply a "paragraph style" to part of a
paragraph, in which case it will apply the character formatting of the
style, and (rather confusingly) show the paragraph style name in the
dropdown when you are in that part of the paragraph.

I know InDesign will pick up character styles as I've supplied Word
documents for conversion, and I would guess that might also apply to
paragraph styles applied to parts of paragraphs. However I know nothing
about how the import is controlled so you'd need to check the result is what
you want. (I did find that some aspects of font formatting - character
spacing condense settings - were being picked up as formatting by InDesign
even though they were coming from the style, so keep your style definitions
simple.)
