Task information

When setting up multiple tasks which all have the same duration, how do I update the duration for all tasks at the same time instead of having to go in and update each one individually?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: Task information

Hi Alison

Thanks for your question. Try this:
Highlight the tasks you would like to update by selecting them. Right click on the highlighted tasks and choose Task information. In the general tab set the duration you want and click OK. All tasks should now have the duration you entered.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Project to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
