Default "&" in Custom Header

If I put an "&" in the Custom Header, it behaves very weird. For some reason,
it does not like "&".

For example, if I make my Custom Header...

D&B Information

It will actually end up reading...

Information<Left Margin D<Centered

Its almost as though it treats the "&" to break the Custom Header at that
point and move everything after the "&" to the Left margin.

Has anyone ever seen this??? Is their a work around besides the obvious of
NOT using "&" in the Custom Header???

Your feedback is GREATLY appreciated and Thanks in Advance for your help.

& is used as an escape character. To use it as text, try "D&&B". That
should work.

HTH,
