Enter the name of the task and then enter a Duration value of 5 days. Double-click the task and then click the Advanced tab in the Task Information dialog. Click the Task Type pick list button and select the Fixed Duration item. Click the OK button when finished. Apply the Gantt Chart view. Right-click anywhere in the Gantt Chart pane on the right and select the Show Split item on the shortcut menu. Select the task in question in the top pane. In the bottom pane, select the name of the resource who will work on the task and then then enter 1h in the Work column for that resource. Click the OK button in the bottom pane. Hope this helps.
