When creating a drop down list in Forms, I have noticed when I type in "&" it
does not show and will not print.
What is wrong, How can I repair?

The ampersand in menus and dropdowns is used to indicate the accelerator key
for an item. But see

workaround.

That was very helpful, thanks, but.
It is now showing up in the drop down but when selected, the "&" is still
missing. there is a space that appears for it.
