When I try to create a list, an error message pops up saying that the list can't contain symbols, including @. I don't get it. All e-mail address have the@ symbol, so how does one make a list?

Because it's built to not allow certain characters. Why? Because certain characters require quite a bit of storage.

Certain characters and symbols are not allowed in naming files or folders, or e-mail addresses. These symbols mean something to Windows which I am knowledgeable enough to understand - so I just observe the rules. I"m afraid you will have to too. If you accidentally use a non-allowable character, change it. Example, to separate words like
firstname lastname (where a space is not allowed)
type firstname_lastname or firstname-lastname.
In a filename, where I sometimes like to include the date, instead of 5/27/07 type 5-27-07.
