I am laying out my grandpa's life story in InDesign. The left page of a spread will have a scanned image of his hand-written story while the right page will have the typed version.
Because I would like the typed copy to match the hand-written copy on each spread, there will be a frame break and a link to the next spread's text box.
I have a "First Line Left Indent" of 0.5 in
on the "[Basic Paragraph]" paragraph style. However, after a mid-sentence frame break, an indent will occur at the top of the next page.
While this is expected behavior, since it is not necessarily the start of a new paragraph in his handwriting, is there a way to "automatically" get rid of the left indent that occurs after each mid-sentence frame break?
I've seen some post/articles about the grep styles, but as I understand it, these are character styles you can apply to matches within the paragraph style. Since indentation is defined at the paragraph style level, I'm not seeing how this could help.
I could create a second "No Indent" paragraph style and manually apply it as needed, but doing this for all 140 pages could mean a lot of rework if the layout needs to change down the road.
Coming from a programming background I'm thinking these would be the "rules":
if (there is a frame break that occurs in the middle of a sentence) {
do not indent the next paragraph
} else {
indent the next paragraph as normal
}
Is it possible to setup something like this in InDesign?
