Arrows

Hello,
I would like the arrows from a task to another task arrive at the left of the task and not on the top of the task as it is the case now. How could I achieve that?

Regards.

RE: Arrows

Hi Antoine

Project does its best to draw the arrows to reflect the relationship between two tasks. Depending on the zoom level the arrow head can be drawn slightly offset from the start of the successor task.

If you would prefer the arrowhead to clearly point to the start of the successor task go to the Format menu then choose Layout. At the top of the dialogue box in the links section choose the middle format. This ensures that arrow heads point to the start of bars but will result in the connection lines being stepped in order to make the arrows fit.

Hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
