As I recall, we decided that it should be treated like a word. That is, if
it is in the middle of a sentence it should have a space on both sides; if
it is at the end of a sentence there should be no space before the period
or other punctuation if there is no space between a word that might appear
in a similar position and the punctuation.

I thought we decided it was situation independent, but a space after was
the most conventional unless other punctuation was involved.
But I am tired, I am likely mistaken. LOL

sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people
can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the
sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the
arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris

Hi group,
I have a proofing question. I working on a book with a lot of ellipses
(three periods in a row) and I not sure how to treat them. Should I leave
space on either side of them, or treat them like double-dashes?
Thanks,
Ellen
