How do I type Z&A as a header in powerpoint?
- Thread starter mrbud1972
- Start date
First of all, this is Project (not PowerPoint).
Second, in Project, I'd do it this way:
File | Properties | Summary-Tab and in the Author entry, I'd put "Z&A" (no quotes, obviously) and click on OK.
File | Page Setup... | Header-tab, choose Left/Center/Right, in the "General" group choose "Author" and click on the Add button.
If you need the "Author" field (and you didn't say that you did) then choose one of the other fields on the Summary-tab.
You will note that the File | Properties | Custom-tab you can define custom items. These are generally only accessible using VBA.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, this IS for Project 2003, and NOT powerpoint. As stated in the subject line, I need this displayed in the header... as in header and footer.
All I want is Z&A as that is the name of the company. Any further ideas?
Many thanks.

This is, perhaps, a case where I should have been unambiguously clear: you generally cannot put the ampersand in as a discrete character when it is followed by a non-space character.
In other words, Z&A, Z&C, ... Z&Z, as well as Z&1, Z&2 (and a few others) cannot be used to create a header text entry that will display as Z&A, Z&C, Z&Z, Z&1, Z&2, etc. (There actually are a few combinations that can be used -- Z&B, for example -- but the vast majority cannot be used.) You could put "Z & A" (omit the quotes, note the spaces) but the question you posed asked to display "Z&A".
Since that isn't possible, I gave you the instructions on how to do it using a work-around. I did that by showing you how to store the information (using the "Author" field in File | Properties | Summary-tab) and putting the info into a field there.
Then I showed you how to display that information in the header (File | Page Setup... | Header-tab). The footer is similar (File | Page Setup... | Footer-tab).
