SYMPTOMS
When you save a new Microsoft Office document in a default location on a Novell NetWare 4.11 server with the Long.nam namespace installed, the suggested file name for saving the file may be truncated to a short (or &quot;8.3&quot;) file name instead of a long file name.



CAUSE
NetWare 4.11 introduced the Long.nam namespace, which supersedes the OS/2 namespace (Os2.nam). According to Novell TID 2929574, you must use the Novell client to ensure long file name support when you are saving to a NetWare drive.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, obtain and install the latest Novell Client software from the Novell Web site.
