SYMPTOMS
You cannot sign any Microsoft Office XP projects, although the signature has been imported to your computer from VeriSign. You can use the PvkImprt.exe file to import a current class 3 VeriSign Authenticode signature. However, Microsoft Office 2002 programs do not appear to recognize the class 3 VeriSign Authenticode signature for use in signing a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) project. You can select the certificate, but Office products do not recognize the certificate as a valid certificate because the intermediate authority is not imported by the PvkImprt.exe file.



CAUSE
Office programs must have an intermediate certificate to create a class 3 VeriSign Authenticode signature. Although the .spc file includes the intermediate certificate, the PvkImprt.exe file does not import the intermediate certificate in the intermediate certificate store. The intermediate certificate must be in the intermediate store for Office to recognize the Class 3 VeriSign Authenticode signature.
