RE: task numbers

Hi Ian

The task numbers are stored in a field called ID. To bring this field to appear beside the bars on the chart do the following:

From the Format menu click choose Bar styles...
Choose task style (already chosen by default) and click on the text tab. In the list of slots choose click in the cell besides "left" and from the drop down choose the ID field.
Click OK and now the number will appear beside the tasks.

I hope this is helpful - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
