Tweaking the Auto correction options did the trick,

Thank you all

Hi Amichai,
The symbol … is called an ellipsis.  You would probably need to use the compose
function of your system.

More information regarding your system would be helpful (Windows or Linux and
version, also what version of LO you're using).

In proper typesetting, the three dots used to indicate an intentional 
omission - called an ellipsis - are a separate, single character and 
not three separate dots. "Horizontal ellipsis" is available as 
Unicode character U+2026. I'm guessing, but I imagine that you have 
an AutoCorrect option to replace three dots with a proper ellipsis 
but that the font you are using does not have the ellipsis in the 
correct position.


What happens if you change the font to one that is more likely to 
contain the correct glyph? You can tell if three dots is an ellipsis 
or not by stepping the cursor across them with the arrow keys: a 
proper ellipsis is one character, not three.


You can disable AutoCorrect options piecemeal if you wish, of course. 
You can also undo automatic corrections immediately they occur using 
Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z): this will remove the replacement but 
preserve the three dots you typed.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Weird punctuation problem

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi Guys,

I have a werd punctuation problem in Writer:

Whenever I enter three periods (i.e: ...) they turn into a little triangle.

I guess it's some configuration tweak...

Thanks!

Amichai.
