I am working in Name Manger and hit a roadblock. I need for Name Manger to combine words to work in an 1/2 Zip, Boat Neck, Cardigan, Collared, Cowl Neck, Crewneck, Full Zip, Henley, Hooded, Keyhole, Kimono, Poncho, Scoop Neck, Shrug, Sweatercoat, Tunic, Turtleneck, Mock, Twinset, Vest, Sleeveless,
V-Neck, and finally Wrap, Swing.

I name items without issue until I get to ½ Zip, V-Nek and Wrap, Swing. I know why, it is because of the special characters (/ - ,). All of the others work. I have tried underscores, periods, spaces Alt+ a number combination 1089 for the ½.

They end up in a dropdown list that reads 0, but that isn’t too important to this. I am using 2010.

How can I get Name Manger to work with these characters?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
If it helps what I need the end result to be is Sweaters1/2Zip and SweatersVNeck and SweatersWrapSwing.
