Default ampersand in header

Enter M&&T in header (using Excel 2003). Print preview displays:
Regular"M&T

Any ideas as to why?

The '&' character is a special control character when used in
heading and footings. For example, &P is used to insert the page
number. To print a literal '&' character, you need to use two
('&&') to indicate that the & character is to be printed, not
used as a control character.
