Hi Bevi,

in InDesign it will require some annoying manual work but can be done - one example:
put the run -in heading in its own text frame (can be part of the complete text chain), put that text frame on top of the text frame containing the continuation, make the text in that frame wrap around the frame used for the run-in heading; adjust the size of the small text frame containing the run=in heading to the proper size.

Disclaimer: this proposal is not elegant! ;-)

Maybe once Adobe takes their multi-channel publishing starting from InDesign beyond tablet centric fixed layout thinking, we can hope for advanced style sheet options, where a paragraph does not have to start on a new line…. (but just continue where the previous paragraph stopped)
