Hi Ellen,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Yes it does mean estimate. However, all project tasks are estimates of what
you hope you will achieve. When you over-type the Duration from its default
"1 day?" the ? will disappear indicating that you have made a more positive
statement. You can enter a duration with a ? after it and Project will
treat it as an estimate. Then, you can filter for all estimated durations
so you can see those that need firming up. Quite a useful tool in the pm's
armoury as it gets the plan up and running even if there are some doubtful
areas.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

repost in the General Microsoft Office Area. You can delete list post.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Assigning tasks - And have them automatically come off my list

Posted: 05 Sep 2004 09:17 AM PDT

Are you talking about assigning tasks off of your Outlook to-do list to
another person or are you talkin about assigning tasks to resources within
the MS Project project scheduling software?

Lotus Agenda Rewrite?

Posted: 04 Sep 2004 05:30 AM PDT

A little OT, but some Agenda users moved to Ecco when it came out. It
died in the late 90's. I recently discovered that Ecco is available for
free from NetManage at

I would like to get a copy as well!

Being able to show "pretty" reports is the exact same problem I'm facing.

Maybe add logic to the filter to use the field "summary = no" will do
what you want.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

How to wrap words in Task Name, Text columns ?

Posted: 03 Sep 2004 07:40 AM PDT


Wellie,
If you have Project 2000 or later you can drag the row divider to
increase the row height of individual tasks. This will show the wrapped
text. Another method is to go to View/Tables/More Tables. The active
view table will be highlighted. Hit "edit". In the Table Definition
window that appears, change the row height setting in the lower right
corner. This setting will apply to all task rows but only for this view
table. You will need to do the same thing to other view tables as
necessary.

Be aware that text wrap only applies to Project fields that contain
spaces in the text string. Therefore, the Predecessor and Successor
fields will not wrap.

Hope this helps.

Crosstabulate resources and tasks

Posted: 01 Sep 2004 03:52 AM PDT

Hi Valentin

there may be a way to do it in project, but i use Jack Dahlgren's Export
Hierachy to Excel macro (http://www.masamiki.com/project/macros.htm) and
fiddle around with the outcome and create a pivot table from it for this
type of report.

Once you've exported the data to excel, copy the summary tasks down the
relevant rows, convert the work to hours (bit messy, let me know if you need
help on this) and then delete all columns except the summary column,
resource name & work.

Hope this helps
Cheers
JulieD
