I assume you're referring to et cetera. You mean when it's at the end of a sentence? Yes that's always troubled me. This is got round if you follow modern trends in punctuation. A few years ago I taught IT in a secretarial school, where they conformed to the latest Pitmans standards/conventions. In these, etc, eg, ie, Inc, Re (et al) do not have the abbreviation full-stops), so the above Q is solved. :-)
