Hello Jawad! Thank you very much for your help! Please, can you answer me a question: I can't see the nested styles applied directly to the text box. How can I see them? Because there are some nested styles that are messed up and misplaced that I need to clean up. I really appreciate it. God bless you!

Hello. Thank u. You need to select the content inside the text box. Then apply the nested styles. Applying nested styles on a text box don't work.

Thank you Jawad, very informative! I have a question... can I use nested style to add a "no break" after the word "I" so that the word "I" never appears as the last word of a line? If so, how would I describe this condition?

I read your comment many times. But I have no idea what u r asking. I'm sorry.

​@@JawadSoomro Hello and thank you for responding to my clumsy question! I am designing my first ebup book in InDesign. When I export as an epub, and use the kindle reader in phone size, I see many sentences where at the end of the screen line, there is an orphaned "I". I have a screen shot of what I am talking about. I tried to use GREP code in paragraph styles to create a "no break" between the "I" 's and the next word so that the line could only break to another line before the "I", or after the next word. While this seemed to work within Indesign, when I exported to epub it didn't export the solution and I continue to see "I"s at the end of screen lines. So I was searching for another solution and after watching your video, was wondering if I could establish a "no break" between the "I"s and the next word in nested styles. Does this make sense?
