Hi Cindy,
Actually, an m-dash can have Either one space before and after it, or no space
before and after. It just has to be the same before and after.
And you are correct on the ellipsis: no space preceding the ellipsis, no spaces
between the periods, and a single space following the ellipsis, unless it is
followed by additional punctuation.
Deborah

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
