: InDesign Next Style not applied when pasting text? I’ve been trying out InDesign’s “Next Style” feature recently in an attempt to automate text styling and would like to find an answer
I’ve been trying out InDesign’s “Next Style” feature recently in an attempt to automate text styling and would like to find an answer to a question that occurred to me while doing so.
I don’t understand why “Next Styles” are not applied when pasting several paragraphs inside a text box. With the “first” paragraph style of a "Next Styles" “chain” applied to a text frame, why are all pasted paragraphs styled according to the preferences set for the first paragraph, instead of following the sequence set up in the "chain"?
Is there a more efficient way to achieve what I’ve been trying to do using “next styles”? I just can’t imagine that applying paragraph styles manually to each paragraph within a text frame is the simplest of options.

"Next Style" only works if you hit the return key. Very annoying, I agree. If your first paragraph has the oddball style, you may be better off making everything your second style and manually applying the style to the first para.
You could also do a S/R such that every paragraph with a tab is Style B, and your first para doesn't have a tab, or some similar GREP configuration.
