RE: Project

Hi Alyson

Thank you for your question. One approach might be to set a flag for a particular task.

To do this insert a column into the Gantt chart view and set it to one of the spare Flag fields (eg Flag 1). Then from the Format menu choose Format Bar Styles and create a new style at the bottom of the list has the formatting you would like to apply just for this resource. In the "Show for" section set it to apply for Flag 1.

Now when you set Flag 1 to Yes for your tasks you will find the associated bar picks up the formatting from the style.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Format individual bars on your GANTT chart

To draw attention to a bar on your Gantt chart simply double click it. From the dialogue box that opens make your selection of text and bar modifications.
