Incorrect punctuation recognition

Hi, I work for a disability services office and we are converting a large number of law books from PDF to Word files. One thing we've noticed happens regularly is that if a sentence ends with a period followed by an ellipsis (which happens a lot in law materials because that's how they designate that they're excerpting something and leaving out part of the material) ABBYY converts the 4 consecutive periods to a tab. Is there any way to prevent that from happening? It's causing a lot of extra work on our end because we have to go back and make sure that all the extra tabs that get added are manually changed back to periods.

Thanks in advance for any help with this!
