Ampersand symbol
 
I have been trying in vain to have an "&" symbol appear in an HTML email or
webpage.
Specifically I would like B&B to be accepted, in an HTML email.
I am floundering.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Roger

Hi Roger,

This should be taken care of automatically when composing in a new message
window, but I must be missing how you are creating the message.

In the source code B&B would look like:

B&B (name code)
B&B (number code)

Many thanks, Tim.

When I enter B&B, the spell checker won't recognize the B. If I allow it to
be added to the Custom.dic dictionary, then it won't complain. I have been
looking to do that in Word. 2003. I am sure I am missing something.
I even tried to change to the Wingding 2 font for just the &, but struck
out.

Will study the reference that you gave me, and come back here.

Hi Tim:

I had started and struggled with that site before I came here. Undoubtedly
I must have a basic setting that is fighting me.

I used to go with WordPerfect, and there it was easy by just changing the
font of that one character.

Must be getting senile.

Have you tried substituting the characters: ;& where you would place
your ampersand? Just to see if it might work?

Hth,

The OE spell checker flagging the "B" is normal. And it won't let you
add "B&B" as a word in the custom.dic because of the & it considers it
2 words.
