Hi Lori,Oh, you can't be expected to know everything! I certainly still don't! And I had no idea for a long time that when I typed three periods that they werebeing changed. We all do our best, and that has to be enough. I cringe knowing how awful some of my first books must look compared to what I know how to do now. But it's how we learn here. It's really okay. You do a great job!

Thanks, everyone, for your help. It took a lot of tries, but I got it to work. I may have submitted books with incorrect ellipses, and I feel very sorry about that. I have made an effort in all books to put spaces around the three periods when necessary and to know they still may be wrong in past books really angers me. I am a very conscientious proofreader, but sometimes feel I can't keep up with everything.

I love Jon! He wrote instructions because I couldn't remember them! Here they are! It's sort of different from Judy's instructions, but there is always more than one way to achieve something in Windows! I'm so sorry I didn't have these instructions earlier! Please speak up if you find they need tweeking for clarity! Shutting up now. See below. Mayrie stopping Wird from automatically inserting the elipsis character when you type ... 1. When in Microsoft Wird with a document open, press alt plus T for the tools menu, followed by the letter a.2. If you hear something about U.S. English and then "replace, edit combo"you are in the right place. If you don't hear this tab around in this dialog box until you come to this control. 3. Downarrow here, this is actually the list of characters which Word changes into other characters. 4. Find the string of three periods which represents the elipsis. 5. Tab here and notice that the single character for elipsis is in this edit field. Backspace it out and put in the string of three periods that you want Word to use instead.6.Tab over to the OK button and press enter to make your changes permanentfor all future documents.
