------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 24 15:33:37 +0000 2008 ------- The ellipsis is an one-stroke punctuation symbol, distinct from three consecutive full stops. […] ≠ [...] Since it is a very oftenly used symbol, Microsoft Office's Word and even Microsoft Works' Word Processor facilitate it's input by providing a handy keyboard shortcut (Alt + Ctrl + .) Also, if three consecutive periods are typed, they will auto-correct the symbol to an ellipsis. Unfortunately, none of these features are available in OOo's Writer, which makes the input of en ellipsis very difficult. (you have to go through the insert menu - special character - general punctuation - ellipsis) Wouldn't it be nice to have a similar shortcut, not necesarily the same, even though 'Alt + Ctrl + .' is already very popular? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
