Hi Cindy,
That’s correct.
I believe that you use a Mac, so you do still need to be careful of any
autocorrect options in Word that may be enabled that would turn those three
periods into a graphical character that only looks like an ellipsis.

Chandra and a question about using the Tab bar
Thank you;in trying to copy your note and paste it into my list of "rules" I
lost the example; am I right that it's ellipsis, space & then page number? Is
this right: / Chapter Two... 23
Many thanks
Cindy

Hi Elizabeth,
Beverly was correct in that three periods in a row is essentially an ellipsis.
It’s only MS Word in it’s ham-handed approach that converts three typed periods
into that graphical representation of an ellipsis. That graphical character
isn’t recognized or converted correctly by the braille conversion software that
Bookshare uses.
So, yes, you need to turn off the autocorrect options in Word so that you can
type three periods/an ellipsis followed by a blank space in the table of
contents.

I couldn't find an email address for Arthi so I'm posting here and wile I'm
at it thought I'd ask about the tab bar; I did find that we're not supposed
to use it but should use the space bar instead; i.e. to separate the chapter
title from the page on which the chapter starts; should I hit the space
bar 3 times or only once? I don't find the answer my in notes
Arrthi, I can't find the books by Jessica Beck, i.e. Sinister Sprinkles and
Evil Eclairs in either of my library systems, though I did find 2 or 3 others;
if no one else wants to proof them and you can mail them to me I'd be happy
to proof them and then return them to you
