      Hi All

      I am trying to add a currency symbol such as $ sign to a cell as a style, which means that the style needs to include the $ sign every time it is applied to other cell. I don’t want to use GREP for this option at this point.
      Is there any way that I can do this function, I am using InDesign cs6.

      I will appreciate any help

      Thanks

      InDesign cannot do that by itself, but maybe with ActiveTables from dtptools? Not sure.

      Masood, that is brilliant! Well, actually, that blog post recommends using auto-numbering… instead, use bullets!

      That’s a quick workout. Thanks’ David.

      Izaac, I hope have a handy solution now.

      How easy it would be if InDesign has the capability of auto-inserting space character through styles, then you don’t have to type a text to get the bullet or number-list. Just apply the style and you are done.

      For example, if a person has to print multiple pages with thousands of cell with dollar sign in each cell, then he just have to apply the style to get the dollar signs.
