Hi Steve

Thank you for your question

First list the tasks with the outline task at the top and the sub tasks below it. Then select the sub tasks (not the outline task) and click on Indent. (This is the button on the top tool bar with the icon of a green arrow pointing to the right). This will create the subtasks, and the main task will be a summary of them.

To activate the numbering, Click on Tools-Options_view and choose the option button “show outline number”

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
