How to use ampersand in footers like CS&S

[Sue]

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,
Ismet Kocaman

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.
