Is there a resource that can talk (an indesign novice) how to set up a nested style sheet to convert a list from word like this...

No need for nested, just use Next paragraph.
Make these 6 styles, each one with the next as "next paragraph":
Paragraph 1 - Numbered list
Paragraph 2 - Space
Paragraph 3 - Name
Paragraph 4 - Position
Paragraph 5 - Location
Paragraph 6 - Space 2Then select all, right click on the first style and choose, apply then next paragraph.
(I'm assuming the text is already separated by blocks)
- Unfortunately here you don't have a single text block for every paragraph...ItalianStallion
- You need to compose text paragraphs correctly to apply this.ItalianStallion
- yes, that was before he putted his last image, as noted below...ESKEMA
- *putted = postedESKEMA
- Nope. He does need nested styles. Bolding the first and last names will require a nested character style.Gucci

and it would help if you putted all the info in one post, not updating it cause now I've written a useless response...

The only problem is reordering the last item to be the first one
- ESKEMA0
I would:
1- manually reorder last paragraph to be the first one. but don't leave a double return after it, just one (if anyone knows a method for automatically re-order paragraphs, I want to know)
2- make a grep search for:
anything between " " and aply paragraph style A
3- make a grep search for anything after (") + 2 line breaks AND before/including a line break and apply paragraph style B + include a EM Space + Line Break after that
4- Search for EM Space at the begining and Line Break > Replace with just an Em Space.
5- Search for an Em Space at the Beggining of a paragraph and include everything up to a Line Break > Replace with everything minus the Em Space > Apply Paragraph CSomething like that...
3-- everything is doable minus the reordering, that you'll have to do it manually...ESKEMA
