How to use ampersand in footers like CS&S

  • Follow


I am defining my project plan and I have to place proprietary footers on the 
document.  When I use the ampersand in the footer it displays the time and 
not the acronym for my company such as CS&S.  It will show CS&[Time] and then 
display the time on my printouts.  If I use a double ampersand it does the 
same thing.  How can I use the ampersand as needed in my company Acronym CS&S?

You could always paste the company logo as a graphic into the footer?  

Maybe use it as a field somewhere and add the field to your footer.

Sue,

Ampersand is a special character. If you put a space before and after 
ampersand it will work. Or you can enter CS&S into the Company box in Summary 
tab of Properties dialog box (File menu); then select Company Name from the 
General drop-down list and add it to the legend. Hope this helps. 

Regards,

Hi,

I did some tests and the following works:
CS& S

but I can't get rid of the blank before the S.

Still, hope that helps.

Probably a picture of the characters would do also.

If you use a non-fixed spaced font (like Arial) you could use a font size of 
1 for the space after the ampersand and thus almost hide the space.
