-===== Ellipsis =====
-When it comes to ellipsis both the APA and MLA style guides state to use spaces between the dots.
-To get the proper ellipsis in Word, we can use Auto Correct to insert ellipses when we type "...” (3 periods):
-  * From the ''Insert'' tab go to ''Symbol''
-  * In the Symbol window, click on ''Auto Correct''
-  * Click on ''…'' and then change to replace it with ''. . .'' (with a space between each dot)
-  * Click ''OK'', which will add this ability to your auto correct entries
-In terms of accessibility, text-to-speech technologies appear to read them the same. They use a slight pause when they come across an ellipsis.
