: Re: Use of ampersand, colon and dash in the title of a newsletter article Is it correct to use an ampersand and colon in a the title of a newsletter article: Something & Something Else:

I would use a colon rather than a dash and I would write the word 'and' instead of using a symbol. Although colons and dashes are often interchangeable, in this case the extra piece could be considered a 'title' or 'definition' of what went before. Dashes are usually used for extra information. Also, if you look at article titles (in anything I read), they use a colon.
My comment about 'and' is really just personal preference. I always use the full word unless I am writing notes or space is really precious.
