Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Thank You All For Valuable Tips
Sorry For The Delayed Response.

Some of YouDon’t Get weird results Because Probably Most Of your The Project Properties Fields May Be Blank
Pleas Fill All File > Properties

Here Is What My Project Properties Are

"1: Title: Master Plan"
"2: Subject: Car Plant"
"3: Author: Hemant"
"4: Keywords: Mazda"
"5: Comments: First Draft"
"6: Template: DubaiOrganised"
"7: Last author: Hemant"
"8: Revision number: 99"
"9: Application name: MSProject"
"10: Last print date: 01-Apr-07 9:36:00 AM"
"11: Creation date: 25-Oct-06 8:45:00 AM"
"12: Last save time: 01-Apr-07 9:41:00 AM"
"13: Total editing time: 5"
"17: Security: 0"
"18: Category: For Owner"
"19: Format: "
"20: Manager: Andrew"
"21: Company: XYZ"
"29: Hyperlink base: C:\All Projects"
"-----------------------------------------------"

"Custom Properties"

"1: % Complete: 0%"
"2: Cost: Dhs0.00"
"3: Duration: 714d"
"4: Finish: 09-Apr-09 7:00:00 PM"
"5: Start: 30-Dec-06 7:00:00 AM"
"6: Work: 0d"
"7: % Work Complete: 0%"

Now
When I enter Andy&summers
What I Get Printed Is : Andy 22 Feb ‘06ummers

(My Project Start Date Is 22 Feb’06 , Project >Project Information >Start Date)

And An entry Of Andy&Summers
Get Printed Like This : AndyCar Plantummers

My Idea Of raising this Issue is to make those unaware of this issue aware, And Avoid Unwanted Printouts.

Thanks for the interest of you all

Hemanth,

You could also just add a space before and after the "&", i.e. "Ram & Company" instead of "Ram&Company" and so on. That works for me also for line 2 and 3 in the footer (MS 2000).

Therefore "This & That" would work, but not "This&That".

Regards,

Bo

Hemant,

You can use "&" sign as normal & sign in Footer as per your example "This & That" and it will appear as normal as long as it is not followed by bracket sign "[". ie "&[]"
This bracket sign refresenting memory variables or field exist on MSP. ie: &[Page], &[Start], &[Finish], &[Time], &[Date]
