Kelli, this is possible with minor effort. But it’s not good practice (anymore) to call for a script and someone will write it for free. So if you interested in a paid version, mail me at [email protected]

Masood, no problem, but this will not work in a good way with GREP-Styles. The reason is simple: I assume, that Kelli have a long list and if it should work with a Grep-Style, you need a alternation. This can slow down the performance of the doc, so I would do it with find/change. Of couse, this can work with a alternation (Kelli|Masood|Kai) too, but is maybe confusing.

I will just use the GREP styles and I have the “chainGREP” script that will combine the greps into one click, for now. I wanted to learn how to write a script so I could easily edit the script with the term list rather than create a GREP command each time. I think it would be fairly easy to write this script, so I will research it. Thanks all!

Hi Kelli, that’s awesome that you want to learn how to script InDesign! This sounds like a great example of something that could be scripted.
(As others have said: If it were just 4 or 5 words, then grep styles would be okay. But if you had 20 or 200 or more words, then a script is the way to go!)
Here are some resources for learning scripting:
