ShadowOfArnor Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I use three periods with spaces between them (. . .) for ellipses. I need to make sure that Publisher doesn't split it when wrapping to the next line, like leaving the first period at the end of the line and dropping the other two to the next line. I seem to remember stumbling on a way to do this, but I can't find it now. Can someone tell me the best way to make this work? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent32 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 hi, you could use "alt-." ("." that is on top of the space bar) to get "…" as one character.

Yes, typographically that is usually the right approach. But with some fonts, the distances between the dots are simply too small. Quote Thanks to DeepL.

Catshill Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I’d set this by changing the tracking (or kerning) and set it as a style rather than using spaces. That is assuming you don’t want to use Alt + 0 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Müsste eigentlich "Kein Umbruch" heissen.
