No, but a StyleRef field will pick up a character style. You could create a
character style (which need not be any different from the Default Paragraph Font) and apply it to the first sentence on the page. You'd have to do this when editing was complete and you were sure pagination wouldn't change. It seems rather pointless, though, since it would mean you'd have the same text twice at the top of the page. -- Suzanne S.

Occurs to me you could be a little smarter still. Since StyleRef picks up
the first instance on the page (unless you tell it otherwise) you could format the first sentence of *every* paragraph with a tag style. Then it wouldn't matter if the pagination changed. You can use find and replace to select the first sentence of every paragraph, and replace with the 'find what' text, style X. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I interpreted "first sentence on the page" as not being identical to "first
sentence of the first paragraph beginning on the page," but what you say is true if that would suit the OP's purposes. -- Suzanne S.
