I need help using the & character in a combo box list. I have tried the
code below without success. The ampersand character will show up on the
form list itself so the person can select it. Unfortunately it does not
show up in the in the Word field so it not displaying in the document. It
simply leaves a space where the character should be. Thanks in advance for
any help you can provide.
ComboBox1.List() = Array("apple & orange ", " test", "One", "Two",
"Three")
ComboBox1.List() = Array("apple " + Chr(38) + " orange", "One", "Two",
"Three")
Mike was telling us:

I am afraid you are out of luck:

The only way around that I can see is to use another character instead of
the & (the * for example) and to replace the * by an ampersand before
sending the text on the document via a macro.

Salut!
