Hi, Valerie, if you see an ellipsis in the middle of a sentence, I
suppose you can do a find and replace on it so there are no spaces
between periods. Regards, Kim.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Peculiarity on purpose


I am working on one of the Louis Slobodkin children's books (they are
really fun to read!), and notice something very odd.  When an ellipsis
is at the end f the line, it is the usual three periods.  However, when
mid-sentence, it is a space period space period space and I cannot
decide if for readability it is permissible to place a currently
acceptable ellipsis or if it is like a misspell that needs to be
retained as in print.  It will be very annoying to audio or Braille
readers, I would think...
