Remember: In setting off elements, dashes emphasize; parentheses de-emphasize. Example: n three of our factories (Atlántico, Bolívar, Magdalena) sales have gone up. Sales have gone down in our Cali (Valle) office.Parenthese can be used with:
* Reference:(see pages 93 to 102)
* Dates: (1716)
* Enumerated items within a sentence: Lee’ s experience (1) the number of years she worked for your company, (2) a description of her duties, and (39 the number of promotions she received. - 3Note: Letters are used to enumerate items within a sentence when the sentence itself is part of a numbered sequence. Example: 3. Please include these items on your expense account (a) the cost of your hotel room; (b) the cost of meals, including tips; and (c) the amount you spent on transportationNote:
If the item in parentheses is to be incorporated at the end of a sentence, place the punctuation needed to end the sentence outside the closing parentheses.
Example:
Please hand in your typing work by Monday (August 10). How can I reach John Blacksmith (he teaches at the Colombo)?
*Do not use a period before the closing parenthesis except with an abbreviation. Our office is open late on Thursdays (until 9 p.m.) - 4THE UNDERSCORE. Underscoring in typewritten material is the counterpart of italic type in printed material. Example: The word quay is pronounced exactly the same as key.

The asterisk may be used to refer the reader to a footnote placed at the bottom of a page or table.

Ellipsis marks (three spaced periods, with one typewriter space before and after each period) are often used, especially in advertising, to display individual items or to connect a series of loosely related phrases.
