When adding footnote page numbers, how do I replace the period (".") preceding the page numbers with a comma (",")?

I have created a custom style based off of the “Chicago 16th Footnote” style. I want to add page numbers to the footnote citation as I cite. After inserting the footnote in MS Word, I use the “Edit & Manage Citations” option to add page numbers. I would like the period at the end of the original citation to be updated to a comma.

For example, right now the citation without page numbers looks like:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016).

, which is good.

When I add page numbers it looks like:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016). 1-3.

But I would like it to look like:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), 1-3.

Thoughts?

Insert the commands for “Forced Separation” (shown as vertical bar) and “Link Adjacent Text” (shown as asterisk):

Author, “Title.” |(Year)|,*Cited Pages|.

Thank you. Yes, I had tried this–I should have given more information in my original post. I think what’s messing things up is that I have 3 custom fields that follow the page numbers. I’ll add information replying to my original post.

I didn’t mention that I have custom fields following my page numbers that may or may not be present. For example

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), custom1, custom2, custom3.

If I want to add page number, to the foot note, I would like it to look like

“John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), 1-3, custom1, custom2, custom3.” 

when custom fields are present or

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), 1-3.

when there are no custom fields. 

I’ve tried all combinations of | and linked adjacent text that I can think of with no luck.

I appreciate the help. The actual file is on a terminal without an internet connection, but keeping your forced separation style, the typed-out report reference type looks like:

Author, Type “Title,”|*[Translated Title]|*ed.*Series Editor|,*trans,*. Department/Division|,*Edition*ed.,*Series Volume*vol.*Volume|,*Series Title|*(|Place Published|:*Institution, Year|)|, |*URL|,*Cited Pages|, Custom1|, Custom2Text:*Custom2|, Custom3Text:*Custom3|, Custom4Text:*Custom4|.

, with the problem code being:

,*Cited Pages|, Custom1|, Custom2Text:*Custom2|, Custom3Text:*Custom3|, Custom4Text:*Custom4|.

When the pages aren’t added in the Endnote Library, but rather through editing the footnote citation, I seem to punctuation thrown off. Even a period after the (Institution, Year) field and page number.

Ah yes… was keeping generic, but that was probably more confusing.

I’ll change

,*Cited Pages|, Custom1|, Custom2Text:*Custom2|, Custom3Text:*Custom3|, Custom4Text:*Custom4|.

to:

,*Cited Pages|, classification|, Classified By:*Custom2|, Reason:*Custom3|, Declassify on:*Custom4|.

Without page numbers, the footnote should read something like:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016).

Without page numbers but with custom fields, the footnote should be:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), Classified, Classified By: Jane Doe, Reason: 1, Declassify on: 3 June 2016.

And when I add page numbers for the reference through editing the footnote, I should have something like:

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), 2-10.

or

John Doe, “Some Title.” (2016), 2-10, Classified, Classified By: Jane Doe, Reason: 1, Declassify on: 3 June 2016.Classified, Classified By: Jane Doe, Reason: 1, Declassify on: 3 June 2016.

,depending on whether or not the custom fields were present.

Thank you so much for your time.
