Word Validation

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 11:56 AM PDT

You might want to also check some of the Word 2003 topic areas dealing with
Digital Rights Management. I understand the ability to control who does
what to documents is one of the features greatly enhanced in Office 2003
Professional edition and above.

Ultimately though (and this is relevant to Project which is why I'm replying
in group, guys) the appropriate use of documents, be they Word files or
Project plans, is a training issue - employees need to be taught what are
and what are not appropriate uses of information and files and who is
allowed to change what. Official organization policy documents need to be
drafted and circulated so everyone knows clearly what is and is not
acceptable and training programs put in place to make sure everyone gets the
word.

Thanks, Jan. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Indenting

I don't think that you can show the "eday" equivalent for a summary task.
You can use a custom field to display this though. Just put use a spare text
field and use this formula:

datediff("d",[Start],[Finish])

Start/Finish Vs Actual Start/Finish

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 06:32 AM PDT

Store your "planned" dates in a baseline.
Start and Finish are really "current" rather than planned. As you have seen
they show what the current start and finish are so for tasks that are
completed they should show the actual date.

If you save a baseline (tools menu / tracking / save baseline) then you can
find the planned start and finish in baseline start and baseline finish.
You can use the tracking gantt view to display the current and baseline
dates.

Outdenting & Deleting Tasks

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 04:08 AM PDT

Hi,

You might have found the outdent bug described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;834684&Product=OffPr2003

I think the service pack fixes it; get it at the Office
update site:
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx

I don't think there is a way to set the delete button to
remove the entire row. I'm fairly sure they changed it
because people were used to Excel, where delete would only
clear the cell. I don't see any options in the menus for
it either. The only option I can think of is to write a
small VBA script and bind it to a shortcut key.

HTH,
Jason

Split timeline?

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 11:26 AM PDT


Dan,
As far as a direct approach Jack is exactly right, but your scenario
requires some thinking outside the box. How about the following. Put the
first month's flurry of tasks in its own Project file, the 10 month slow
roll task in its own file and the last month's flurry in yet a third
file. External links can be used between files to maintain schedule
logic. You could also create a master file with all three inserted
subprojects however you will still face the timeline issue when viewing
the master. At least with three files, a timeline can be chosen that is
best suited for the ongoing activities.

An alternate off the wall approach might be to set up two custom views.
Once with a detail timescale for viewing tasks in the first and last
months and one with a gross timescale for viewing the 10 month period.

There are probably other ways to get there also. It depends on what you
want to see and do or should I say, what you are willing to see and do.

Just some thoughts, brought to you by the guy outside the box :-)

Fixing Start AND End Dates of tasks

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 09:09 AM PDT


Steve,
Yup, that is the other saying I thought of. But since our fellow MVPs
are international I'm not sure how many American sayings are universally
understood.

multiple rates per person possible?

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 07:59 AM PDT

Hi,

Just a few minutes ago I posted a little macro that transfers a resource
field into a cost rate table's standard cost.
See the heading "Entering Data into various cost tables"

Thanks Sean.

And is there a possibility to have holyday dates in Project, without using
outlook nor adding those by hand?

Thanks.

Crashes on save 90% of time

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 09:13 AM PDT

We had this same problem- One place to check is your
resource sheet- as we found a BUG , where several thousand
generic resources were getting auto-generated added into
this problem project- deleted those and the problem went
away!

Also, the task note on the Zero task line can only be 255
characters- this hangs up projects as well.

Hope this helps,
Jodi M
