Hi Ken, I just copied with (with the 'hard spaces') and replaced the existing
.... in auto correct - works fine - in Word 2000 at least. Cheers. Jazz

Is there a way to put formatting into an auto-correct entry.

Specifically, I want an elipsis to automatically include (I'm not sure what
they're called) the special "spaces" that won't be separated. (They're
created by ctrlshiftspace, and that way the three periods in the
elipsis won't separate at the end of a line.)

Right now, I have to do that manually, and I'd like to be able to his
period, space, period, space, period. (Yes, I know I don't need spaces
between the dots, but I don't like the way that looks.)

Many thanks.
Ken
