Hi Lori and everyone,
Okay, I'm going to give admittedly terrible instructions here. Because I
have such a crummy memory that I can't remember what I just did!
I went into the AutoFormat tab, and somewhere in a list found where Word
says "dot dot dot". It's showing three periods and automatically replacing
them with that evil ellipses character. But right next to that character is
an edit box where you can replace with something. If you type three periods
in there, essentially telling Word to replace three periods with three
periods, you won't ever have to fix that evil character unless it appears in
your document before you ever type in the document. But anyway, if you type
three periods they'll stay there.
I'm really, really sorry. These are probably the worst instructions I've
ever given in my life. I hope someone else can give better instructions
than this.
And if the ellipses character appears as a part of an rtf document which
came to you uncorrected, I guess you'll still have to use find and replace
to fix them.
How did I get myself in this mess?
Mayrie
