A Graphic Arts Glossary #5

This is the fifth post in a series. Watch this blog during the months to come for further installments in this ongoing series.

The purpose of the series is to define key terms used in the graphic arts industry.

The fifth term in the series is ellipsis.

Ellipsis: a series of marks (as) used to indicate an omission, a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. The most common form of ellipsis is a series of three dots.

Tip: to insert an ellipsis into a Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher document, simply type three (3) periods and press the space bar once. Word or Publisher will convert the three periods into an ellipsis.

The sixth term in the series will be font.
