The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Project for Windows, versions 1.0, 3.0, 3.0a
 - Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, versions 1.1, 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
When you install Microsoft Project, a default view is copied from the
Setup disk to your hard drive. The view file is installed in the
startup folder or directory.
 
    In this version of Microsoft Project    The view file is called
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
 
    For Windows                             VIEW.MPV.
    Version 1.1 for the Macintosh           MICROSOFT PROJECT VIEWS
    Version 3.0 for the Macintosh           VIEWS
 
If the default view file is renamed or deleted, Microsoft Project will
create another view file (VIEW.MPV, MICROSOFT PROJECT VIEWS, or
VIEWS). This new view file will not contain the Tracking Gantt or
Detail Gantt and there will only be eight out of an original 19 macros
available.
 
NOTE: Microsoft Project 1.0 for Windows and Microsoft Project 1.1 for
the Macintosh do not support macros.
 
After the default view file is renamed or deleted, the following macros
are no longer available:
 
   Combine Projects
   Copy Data
   Create Object
   First Window
   Format Report
   Last Window?
   Paste Data in Last Windows
   Rollup Bars
   Rollup Milestone
   Rollup Formatting
   Size PERT Nodes
