Can't reduce row height - tried everything!
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.
- Are you using the default Calibri font or another font? Some fonts cause issues with row heights.
- 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)?
- 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?

Sorry is this a better image?
Font is Calibri.
Rows are all set to 1 in bar styles.
Bar height was 12 but I've changed it to 6 (lowest option available) however nothing seems to have changed when I did this
Naomi,
Yes, now the screen shot conveys the issue. Try removing the text from the task bars altogether (i.e. just the bar). Does that help?
Also, what happens when you grab the row height on the far left and move it up and down? Can you adjust the row heights?
John
Do you mean formatting each bar on the gantt and removing the task name? I tried with a couple but that didn't do anything and I really want to keep the task names so I can show a download of just the gantt chart without the task list next to it.
Unfortunately can't adjust the row height by grabbing the row separator and moving it up (like you can in Excel!)
