microsoft project training - Project 2003 Question

Hi Lee

Yes the indenting of items can take a little while to get used to. The principle is that if you indent a task then the row above it becomes a summary (by default it goes bold and its duration is now that of the tasks indented below it)

To stop a task being a summary task you need to outdent the tasks below it. Once a summary task has nothing indented below it then it returns to being a regular task.

To outdent a task simply right click on the task and from the menu that appears choose outdent.

One other point to bear in mind is that if you delete a summary task Project will warn you that it will also remove any of the tasks indented below it.

Hope this helps - let us know if you need further information or if you have other questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
