Copy-Editing for Editors Authors Publishers by Judith Butcher (Cambridge) covers ellipses in detail. The piece on quotations covers most issues: "If some words are omitted from a quotation, indicate the omission by an ellipsis of three points. This may be preceded or followed by a full point or other mark of punctuation; but, as full points are differently spaced from the points of an ellipsis, the typesetter must be able to see at a glance whether the first or last of a group of four points is to be a full point." There is much more on these lines�Ms Butcher's book is an excellent reference source.

I just use alt + ; for a three point ellipse which seems to work for most standard fonts, but my needs are simple.
