Default How can I prevent a line break in an ellipse

By default there is an AutoCorrect entry that will convert three
periods into a single character, Unicode character 2026 (hex). You
shouldn't have to do anything special to get that. If you must put in
that character manually, the default shortcut for it is Ctrl+Alt+.
(that is, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys while you press the period
key once).
