Can't reduce row height - tried everything!

Hi there,

I have a master plan which brings together a number of subprojects. I want to display just the summary tasks of each subproject to show the phasing of our entire portfolio. Even though row height under the gridlines menu is set to 1, wrapped text is off, and there are no labels on the gantt above/below the bar (only inside), I can't seem to get rid of the white space between rows.

All ideas welcome!

Thanks,

Naomi

    Naomi,

    Can you show a screen shot? I don't quite understand about the white space between rows.

      Hi John,

      Thanks for your response.

      See attached - I'd like to reduce the row height so there is less space between bars; so the gantt is more compact.

      Cheers,

      Naomi

        Naomi,

        Not exactly the screen shot I was expecting (i.e. it doesn't show the actual Gantt Chart view), but let's check a few things.

        1. Are you using the default Calibri font or another font? Some fonts cause issues with row heights.
        2. In your initial post you said the row height was set to 1. Do you really mean the bar height (Gantt Chart Format > Format group > Layout > Bar Height)?
        3. Go to, Gantt Chart Format > Bar styles group > Format > Bar Styles. In the Bar Styles sub-window is the Row column set to 1 for all entries?

        John
