  Hi All
  I am trying to find Grep syntax to find positive numbers in a table, and to indent the numbers in the cell to the left side (for example 0p4). Same thing with negative numbers (for example 0p3).
  
  I will appreciate any help
  Thanks

  Izaac, your examples are pica measurements, are you trying to find text with either positive or negative text indent? or are you trying to find literal positive and negative numbers in a tables?

  I am trying to find positive numbers that are align to the right, and shift(indent) them to the left. The same thing with negative numbers.
  
  Thanks

  Can you give an example of your text in the items you want to change?

  Here is the example
  I have the number 20,584 in a cell which in aligned to the right, I want to indent the number 20,584 to the left side (for example 0p4) which is less then the middle of the cell.
  
  Thanks for helping

  I think you can achieve this by GREP Find/Change:
  
  Find what: [24680]$
  
  Change to: paragraph style of your choice with indent values
  
  Please check and let me know if it helps.
