The only time there isn’t a space after the … is if it’s followed by some kind
of punctuation. That’s what I remember hearing and reading anyway. And that’s
how I’ve been doing them since this discussion started. :)

Thanks, Katherine.
But I thought I just went through champion and changed everything because of
what they'd told me. Well, if I did and it's wrong guess I'll get it back. In
the meantime I guess I'll do the em dashes with no spaces before or after and
for ellipses I guess no pace before and one after

I'm confused again. I thought in a very recent discussion we were told that em
dashes, like ellipses. should have no space before but should have one space
after-- is thar correct? I'm working n a new book and was about to change the
em dashes when I went to my book share notes and saw they said no spaces
before or after. PLease refresh my memory as to both ellipses and em dashes
