Not a direct answer to your question, but you can fix this by dropping 
the RTF file into your favourite text editor, and changing 'ansi' in 
the first line to 'ansiacorn'. Now ellipses will be properly displayed 
in EasiWriter.

 NB: the 'ansiacorn' tag is specific to Easi/TechWriter, and isn't
     supported by other RISC OS apps or on other platforms. Bob was
     kind enough to add it in the long ago to please someone or
     other.[1]

     [1] Okay, I admit it, it was me ;-)

Elliptically,

Stewy
