    This is what I suggest you do.

    1. Create a new custom view table, View > Data group > Tables > More Tables > New.

    2 When the Table Definition window pops up give your view table a name, such as "Name only" or whatever makes sense for you.

    3. In the Field Name, enter "Name" (without the quotes) and select the other items such as alignment, width, etc.

    4. Uncheck the option to "add new column"

    5. Hit "OK" and then "Close" (do not hit "apply")

    6. Go to View > Task Views group > other views > More views > New

    7. Hit "OK" for Single view

    8. When the View Definition window opens give the view a name such as "Gantt Name Only"

    9. In the Table selection box, scroll down to find you custom view table

    10. For the Group selection, select "No group" and for the Filter selection, select "all tasks"

    11. Hit "OK" and then "Apply"

     

    You can then select the desired outline level and you will see something like this:

     

    By creating a custom view and view table you won't "pollute" the built-in Gantt Chart view.
