      I currently see the metadata “headline” and “author” comes in as two lines (return between them) when I use Caption setup. I am looking for advice. Can I change the paragraph style attributes to be run-in or have it ignore the return? The goal is to get <headline> <author> side by side (not in separate rows).

      I don’t know if you can set the captions up to come in like this, but you can use GREP to find/replace without the return.

      1. I would start by placing placeholder text around the metadata caption. (e.g., Text before [Headline]: *caption* Text after [Author]: *caption*)
      2. Generate the captions as static captions (I’m not sure why, but live captions won’t work for this.)
      3. Use GREP Find what: \*caption\*(.+)\r(.+)\*caption\* Change to: $1 $2.
      4. Click change all to remove returns from all captions.

      I hope this will help you.

      thank you. I am aware of using grep. I use a paragraph style, so that is easy to do. I was hoping for an automatic way, instead of grep.

      I really appreciate that you took the time to answer my question. Again, Thank you.
