I've volunteered to edit a one-time publication of a collection of plays. The plays came to me in different styles -- three of the plays came to me with all the characters's speaking lines centered -- the characters's names centered a line above.
Some of the writers seem to have centered the names with a centering code -- I can highlight the name and use the "left margin" code to move the name to left margin. Others seem to have centered by spacing over! (yes) and I have to backspace until I get the name to the left margin. None used a colon after the speaker, and the publisher wants it. I've made some progress with Search & Replace -- Search for all incidents of TOM and replace with TOM colon space. But the most tedious part is moving TOM from center to left and bring his speaking lines up to begin on the same line. Is there any way I can put these plays into a style sheet and save this work, or would creating the style sheet take as long as what I'm doing? I've never used styles. And this is a one-time job so if I have to do it all by hand, at least it's only once.
