I'm bad at describing how to make this work, but right now I have more than a dozen saved searches trying to align ellipses to each other including quotation marks.

Here's a list of them, and I'm figuring out a way to simplify them.

' …' to '…'
'. . .' to '… '
' . . . ' to '…'
' . . .' to '…'
'*…' to '…'
'([A-z])…([A-z])' to '\1… \2'
'‘… ' to '‘…'
'… ’' to '…’'
'‘. . . ' to '‘…'
' . . .’' to '…’'
'“… ' to '“…'
'… ”' to '…”'
'‘ … ' to '‘…'
' … ’' to '…’'
' . . . ’' to '…’'
' … ”' to '…”'
' . . . ”' to '…”'
