Ellipsis formating

In Tools | AutoCorrect, if you have "replace text as you type" checked, it
will automatically turn 3 periods into an ellipsis, which will not break
across lines, but looks pretty identical.

If you don't want this on all the time, you should. Reconsider, and see here
for how you can turn AutoCorrect to your own uses:

But for your current problem, I would suggest turning it on temporarily,
letting it AutoCorrect an ellipsis (type 3 dots, then a space), then copying
the ellipsis (without the space) and using Find and Replace to replace 3
periods with the copied ellipsis.

You could probably also dig an ellipsis out of Insert | Symbol and use that
do the Find and Replace.

An ellipsis is three spaced periods in text that indicated that some of the
test has been omitted or that there has been an elapse of time. How can I
keep these three spaced periods, that is, the ellipse all together? My line
wants to wrap so that the ellipsis is split between two line. I have tried
FormatParagraphLine and Page Breaks, but none of the options there
resolves my problem.
