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:

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.)
