@Prestidigitweeze - What do you write with, maybe we can find an easy way for you to type an ellipsis followed by a space or punctuation prior to you putting your work into calibre.

When I'm using word, for an ellipsis I press 'ctrl/alt/.', for an em its 'ctrl/alt/-' and for an en its 'ctrl/-' When I convert a docx containing - ' end…. ' - with smarten punctuation selected it leaves the ellipsis and full stop alone.
