Printing Project

I have set up my task names and 'ticked' the box to include outline numbers on my Gantt Chart. These now appear but when I print the chart the outline numbers are omitted and only the task text is is printed in the column?

RE: Printing Project

Hi Bill

Thank you for your question

On the face of it, you seem to have done nothing obviously wrong and the outline numbers should appear in the task name column.

One suggestion would be to add the outline number to the Gantt chart as a seperate column. This should then print out. To do this right click on the task name column and select insert column. In the field combo box select "outline number"

If this doesn't work, or if you feel it innapropriate; then I suggest you email me the file at stephenATstl-training.co.uk so I can investigate more fully

Regards

Stephen

RE: Printing Project

I have read your reply and tried to sent a copy of the project to stephenATstl-training.co.uk but my Outlook will not recognise this as a legitimate e-mail address, is there an alternative?

RE: Printing Project

Hi Bill

The word AT in the email address should be replced with @ as in a normal email address. I wrote it like that for security reasons.

Stephen

RE: Printing Project

Bill/Stehpen,

We just received an e-mail from Bill regarding the outcome of this post. It appears it has not been resolved, even though the question was marked as resolved.

I have set the status of this question to 'unresolved', and will now allow Stephen or one of our other trainers to continue resolving this question.

Stephen, did you receive a copy of Bill's file as discussed above?

Regards, Rich

RE: Printing Project

Bill,

Stephen is waiting for your file.

You can send the file to stephen@stl-training.co.uk

If we don't receive the file, we will have to consider this query resolved, as we have nothing else to go on.

Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Bill

One other thing to try (with regards to tracking down what might be causing the problem) would be to create a new temporary project with one task in it. Turn on outline numbers ( Tools > options > view tab then tick show outline numbers) and do a test print to see if the numbers print on a different file. Also if you have access to MS Project on another machine repeat the test on that version of Project. These tests mean we can then rule out any problems with the Project document or the software.

Let us know how it works out.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
