Name truncated in digitally signing?

[c mateland]

Can anyone shed light on this?

My company got a certificate or VBA digital signing ID for digitially
signing VBA macros inside MS Office. It was issued from VeriSign.
Everything's fine, but the Security Alert dialog box, where the user
chooses to trust the source and enable macros, shows our company name
WITHOUT "Inc". It shows truncated from "XXX Company, Inc." to "XXX
Company,".

Every property in the certificate shows it correctly, but in the dialog

box mentioned above, it truncates. VeriSign can't figure it out and
they are blaming Microsoft, saying I have to call them. I will, but in
the meantime, I'd like to know if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
Chuck

The problems seems to be due the "&" in our company name. It cuts off
text from there in the MS Security dialog box where it asks the user to
trust the source.

I know I'm not the only company with an "&" in it's name, so I'm asking
if anyone else has come across this problem?
