Can't reduce row height - tried everything!
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!)
Naomi,
I just removing the Gantt bar text on a couple of lines won't produce the same result as removing it from all lines. Do this:
- Select the whole file (click in the upper left corner above the ID field and to the left of the Task Name field).
- Go to, Gantt Chart format > Bar Styles group > Format > Bar > Bar Text. All entries should show as blank, but they really aren't.
- Click on entry for text on the right (if that's where your bar text is) and hit "Delete". (Don't worry, you will be able to get it all back after the test)
- Hit "OK"
- Save and Save All.
- Close
- Re-open the master. Are the task rows narrower or can you now change them to your liking?
- To restore from this test, again select the whole file and repeat step 2. This time hit the Reset button. All your original bar text should re-appear.
As far as being able to manually adjust row height, it should work the same as Excel. Go to the extreme right (ID field) and place your cursor on a row separator. You should get a cursor bar with an up and down arrow.
If necessary, would you be willing to send me your master and subproject files so I can do some first hand testing?
