   The default separator (the character that separates the base variable name from the incremented value) is "@".

  Examples: [Variable@1], [Variable@2], etc.

   You can choose a different separator, or choose not to have a separator at all.  Make your choices at the 'Repeats' tab of the 'Settings at a Glance' section (Utilities & Settings screen).

 

repeat1

   If you want to exclude the separator altogether, check the appropriate box on the screen (#1 above).

 Sample result: [Variable1], [Variable2], etc.

   If you want to change the separator itself, select the desired separator from the list (#2 above).

 Sample result: [Variable_1], [Variable_2], etc.

   If you don't like the default placement of the at the end of the variable, 'tell' Pathagoras where to put the incrementing number by pre-placing the '@' sign in the 'repeat' text block itself.  So, if a variable were written [Shareholder@Address], it would increment [Shareholder@1Address], [Shareholder@2Address], etc.
