I am getting crazy with these two things and after some days of getting nothing from Web search and experimentation I come to you. I am using Indesign CS4 and cannot get to do these two things:

  1. Format a list for my chapters this way:

    Chaper X Title

So in the paragraph style - Bullets and Numbering - Numbering style - Number I have: Chapter ^#, which makes:

Chapter X  Title

But I CANNOT find anywhere how to input a "\n" after.

  1. Indent all paragraphs (that is easy) except the first one as in:

    Section 1 Blablablabla1st paragraph Blablablabla Blablablabla 2nd paragraph Blablablabla blablablablabla 3rd paragraph blablablablabla

    Figure X Blablablabla1st paragraph Blablablabla Blablablabla 2nd paragraph Blablablabla blablablablabla

    Subsection X.x Blablablabla1st paragraph Blablablabla Blablablabla 2nd paragraph Blablablabla blablablablabla

I get the indentation right but it is also apply to the 1st line too. I am not sure how to use GREP to do this or if there is a better way. I'd like to do it automatically without having to assign a different paragraph style every first paragraph.
