RE: Formatting

Hi Marianna

Thanks for your question. The vertical lines in the Gantt chart are created by going to Format > Gridlines and from the list choosing Bottom tier column. Change the Type drop down from blank to one of the line types available and click OK.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

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.
