Project - Free Format column?

Hi

Is there a way of free formatting a column in project so that I can add my own labels which correspond to the specific tasklists I have?

Thanks and regards
Phil

RE: Project - Free Format column?

Hi Phil,

If you double click on the column heading, you will be presented with the column definition box. If you enter a new word or words in the Title box, this will become the new column heading.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms 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.
