You can either copy the following character from between the parentheses (¼)
and then paste it directly into the Caption property in the Properties
window for the button (yes, I know it doesn't look like three dots, but that
is because the Font in your newsreader is not the Symbol font) or use this
line of code in your own code...

CommandButton1.Caption = Chr$(188)

where I have assumed the name of your button to be CommandButton1 (change
this name to match your actual button's name). Oh, and to reiterate, make
sure you set the Font for the button to the Symbol font.

Could you please elaborate on how to assign the Chr$(188) to its Caption
property. I have tried and cannot figure out how to do it. I have Office
2003. I have changed the Font to Symbol and have tried to change the
caption
but have not gotten the results I'm looking for?

Alternately,
(after changing the Font to Symbol) you can copy/paste the character
between
the parentheses (¼), which looks like the single character for 1/4 in the
font my newsreader uses, into the Caption property for the button in its
Properties window, you will get the three dots for its Caption.
