Minus symbol in a value list

[jimefc]

Simple question - I hope - I'm creating a simple pull down list with 3 values for students - plus, equals,minus and want to use the characters ie +,=,- but the minus sign will not display. I have tried putting inverted commas and single hyphenation marks but they also show and I only want a - sign. I'm sure there's a simple solution out there!

It will display - but as a group separator.

Try using the en-dash (option-hyphen) character instead, or put a space before each one of your values. You can use a auto-enter calc to restore the chosen value back to normal.

Many thanks - it works with the option key just fine.
