Suppose your Q&A table contains a SHs question that asks for a list shareholder names. And you want to show the shareholders in the finished document in this format:
Joe;
Mary; and
Barney.
Your first inclination might be to use the "repeating paragraph" format for the list, since each item appears in its own paragraph. But the repeating paragraph format repeats exactly the same paragraph for each item in the list. So you would end up with a list that looks like this:
Joe.
Mary.
Barney.
Instead, you need to create a custom list. Start with the "Tic; Tac; and Toe" format, because it includes most of the punctuation you want (the semicolons and the word "and"):
{List:{SHs#X}|; {SHs#X}|; and {SHs#X}}
Then add hard returns so each item appears in a separate paragraph, and add a period after the list:
{List:{SHs#X}|;
{SHs#X}|; and
{SHs#X}}.
This results in a perfectly punctuated list every time, no matter how many items it contains. The same technique also applies if each paragraph includes additional text. For example:
{List:{SHs#X} is a shareholder|;
{SHs#X} is a shareholder|; and
{SHs#X} is a shareholder}.
And if you apply one of Word's numbering formats to those three paragraphs (or include number fields), then each item in the list will be automatically numbered too:
1. {List:{SHs#X} is a shareholder|;
2. {SHs#X} is a shareholder|; and
3. {SHs#X} is a shareholder}.
