Hi, before proofreading I attend to a bunch of stuff which I check. One of
these is the ellipsis thing. The way to get around this is to do a find-and
replace. You will have to put different combinations of wrong ellipses in
the find box and the triple periods without spaces in the replace box. Just
use whatever combinations you can think of: spaces between dots 1 and 2 and
2 and 3, space between dots 1 and 2 with no spaces between dots 2 and 3, and
the one where you have no spaces between dots 1 and 2 and a space between
dots 2 and 3. Last step is to delete everything you put into the find box
each time. The last thing to make doubly sure is to put into the find box
Word's symbol for an ellipsis and keep the 3 periods in the replace box. I
usually hit alt+A for replace all rather than tabbing about. I've found this
works for me. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hi Monica,
You can do a find and replace. In the first find what box, type .. . two
periods and space, then another period. In replace box type three periods
right together. Then replace all. That should take care of it.

Hello list. I had a question about elipses. On the Braille display, in the
book I have scanned, it shows word period period space period followed by
the next word. How would I depict or write an ellipsis so it's represented
properly in Braille? Also, is there a way I could do a find and replace
once I found the first instance? Thanks very much.
