Hi Cindy,
Actually, the spaces between the dots are frustrating when reading braille.
The reason is that, unlike in print, the symbol for the period and the
symbol for the dots in the ellipsis are not the same symbol. So when there
are spaces between the dots they get translated incorrectly as periods. In
braille the period is nothing like a dot, so this isn't too wonderful. I
think they must be also correct without the spaces because there is a
symbol, it can't be made on the keyboard but I think MSWord will do it, that
is one symbol for an ellipsis, so the dots must be together.
