I'd like to put the name of my project in the header of its MS Project plan. That name includes the phrase "IT&T". Is there a way to stop MS Project reading "&T" as a timestamp? Typing the ampersand twice does not work in this instance.

Hi @Burton, Ralph, Vodafone UK
In Project, the & character is used to denote special header codes and fields (for example, date/time and project field references), so a string such as IT&T can be interpreted as IT plus the &T time token rather than as literal text. Microsoft does not appear to document a supported escape sequence for displaying a literal &T in a Project header.
Some workaround you can try:
IT&T in a custom text field (for example, Text1) and then reference that field in the header using: &[Text1]＆, U+FF06) instead of the normal & if that's acceptable.If Project still interprets the &T within the field value, I recommend you to submitting feedback through the Microsoft Feedback Portal . Once you done submitting, please feel free to drop the link here so I and other people can upvote for you.
