The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When running Microsoft Project 4.0 under Norton Desktop 3.0, the common
dialog boxes used for File Save, File Save As, and File Open are changed to
include the Norton Desktop 3.0 FileAssist functionality.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Norton Desktop increases the size at bottom of the dialog boxes in
Microsoft Project 4.0 to accommodate Norton's File Description text area,
where a user can type in a description of the file, a File Information
section that shows the file size and file date, and a series of command
buttons to access the Norton Desktop file management functionality. The
commands are:
 
   View  Find  MakeDir  Rename  Delete  Config
 
The addition of these areas conflicts with the normal functions of the
Microsoft Project 4.0 dialog boxes. In the File Save and the File Save As
dialog boxes, the security options (passwords) are always visible, even
before you choose the Options button. The security options remain inactive
(dimmed, but incorrectly visible) until you choose the Options button. When
you choose Options, the Microsoft Project 4.0 dialog box then changes to
double the normal size--in an attempt to make room for the options that
Microsoft Project expects not to show in the first place.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To disable the FileAssist functionality of Norton Desktop 3.0 within
Microsoft Project, do the following:
 
1. In Project, choose Save As from the File menu.
 
2. At the bottom of the dialog box, choose the FileAssist Config button.
 
3. Clear the Option to Enable FileAssist for Winproj4.
 
4. Choose OK.
 
5. Choose Yes to confirm the action.
