Are you able to change the colours of bars to show correlations with other tasks

RE: Critical Path

Hi Simone

Thank you for your question. You can format the bars by either double clicking the bar or by highlighting several tasks and choosing Format > Bar from the menu. This lets you format the shape and colour of the bar.

Format > Bar styles lets you set the style for existing and new objects in your chart.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew

Progress To Date & Drop Line

Hi,

I am currently working in Project 2007 and I have managed to fill in the progress to date on all of my tasks (ie. the black line across the bar) and then I have placed a progress line on this programme as well. My problem comes in the fact that I can get the progress line to point right to the items that I am lagging on - however it wont point left to the items that I am ahead of schedule on. I have tried everything I even read the Project for Dummies book but have had no luck yet in figuring it out. Can you please help me?

Many thanks
Simone

Ms project tip:

Compare Work and Duration

Duration is the timescale within which a task is done; Work is the specific time element used. For example, 3 days work in a duration of 2 weeks. To compare, add the Work field into the Entry table by right clicking a column heading to Add Field.
