Hi all,

To change the ellipses, you need to remove the AutoCorrect entry for it.

This menu is located under File, Options, Proofing, AutoCorrect Options.
I believe the keystrokes for this are ALT+F to open the File tab
T to open the options menu
Down arrow, down arrow to get to the proofing tab
Tab once then enter to select the AutoCorrect Options button

Towards the bottom of that dialog box, it lists everything that will auto
convert.  You can add things or remove them if you no longer want the
conversion.  On mine, the ellipses is the fifth entry down, but that will
change depending on how you've customized it.

Note, on this same AutoCorrect menu (but on the AutoFormat tab) is where
you can also change the Smart quote to regular quote conversion.

Hope that helps,
Em
