Default Excel & Chr(133)

English W2K, with English Office2000.

I use the text "Other..." in lists for comboboxes to indicate that other
choices are available to the user.
However, Excel insists on changing these "..." to ascii 133 (which is part
of the Windows-Western character set), rather than keeping them as 3 x
fullstop.

As many of people viewing the workbook will be on different language OS's,
ascii 133 may well be some other character.
I can use 2 x fullstop, but it is not so obvious.

Any way to stop this ?

TIA

Ah, I should have known that.
Annoying little feature.
