= SUMMARY =

When Microsoft Project for Windows and Macintosh date formats are set in Options Preferences to a long format (e.g. January 31, 1987, 12:33 PM), the dates in all the forms and pull-down list boxes are cropped to the left or the right.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Project does not adjust form, sheet, or pull-down list box width for long date formats. If you want to avoid the cropping problem, use a short (the default) date format in Options Preferences and a long format in sheet views (Format Timescale). You can adjust column widths by either clicking and dragging the column separator or by choosing Table Define Table and increasing the column width.

NOTE: Date formats are found by choosing Options from the Tools menu, then activating the View tab in Microsoft Project version 4.0.
