MS Project formatting

Many of us get used to a particular format in documents, and want to use it every time we create a new document. What's the best way to save favourite formats and apply them to new documents, rather than having to go through all the formatting steps each time?

RE: MS Project formatting

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your question.

If you record a macro thorugh the tools menu, select all the cells and then apply the formatting you require on both the sheet and the Gannt Chart.

The Macro is saved in the Global file and is accessible everytime you open a new Project file.

Once you have recorded the macro you can add the Macro button to your shortcut toolbar for quick access.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
