Getting "&" to appear in drop-down box results
Using the Forms toolbar, I have created a drop-down box containing "T&&C
(1)". When a user clicks on the arrow of the drop-down box, they see "T&C (1)", which is what they're supposed to see. But once they have selected "T&C (1)", the result that appears in the box is "TC (1)". The ampersand does not show up! Can anyone tell me how I can make "T&C (1)" appear in the results box once the user has clicked on it? Thanks, Bob |

Jay,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, per my company's policy, we are not permitted to use any macros/VBA code in our documents. I was hoping to find a non-macro solution. Thanks all the same.

Sorry to say, your company has summarily thrown out the baby with the bath
water. There's a large class of "How do I..." questions about Word for which the only answer is "Write a macro to..." By forbidding macros, they've taken a superb productivity tool and turned it into nothing more than a fancy typewriter. I understand that you may not be able to do anything about the policy, but the consequences are unavoidable. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
