Man hours
Will project calculate man hours based on project timeline?
Well, yes and no. Let's say you have a simple project with a timeline of one month. If a single resource is assigned at 100% (i.e. full time), Project will calculate 160 hours of work. If a single resource is assigned at 50% (i.e. half time), Project will calculate 80 hours of work.
However, if you simply have a timeline describing a total span of time for one or more tasks, Project will not assume that represents a given number of man hours. There are too factors that play into a plan to give a simple answer to timeline versus man hours.
If you can explain in more detail what you are trying to accomplish, then we can be of further help.
