I'd give the same answer as the others gave you, but I'll also add that you
might want to reconsider the approach you've taken. If at the end of all
those fits and spurts of activity, the end of the sequence you've created,
there's one deliverable completed then what you're doing is ok, if somewhat
akward. But if each of those occurences produces its own deliverable (and
just guessing I'll bet that's the case, it is 99% of the time you have a
series of tasks like that), then it's another story and they really should
be listed in the plan as independent tasks. If you were painting the
offices on a certain floor, each office takes 1 day and you figured you
could do one of them every month, in between other work taking place, it
would not be one task "painting" interrupted a number of times. Instead it
should be a series of separate tasks "paint room 201" "paint room 202"
"paint room 203" ... each of them at whatever point in the work that
particular room gets done.

That is the way it is. You only get text left, right, center above and
below.
I suppose if you really wanted, you could write some visual basic which
would look at the task, determine the number of splits, use a spare text
field to write out the task name that many times, determine the approximate
length of the text string and the total length of the task and set the
timescale accordingly, but it would probably not work for all tasks at the
same time.
Why not just create multiple tasks and roll them up to a summary task?
Working with split tasks is usually not a good thing.

Oh well, I guess I will just keep manually shuffling.

Thanks for the replies. Although the functionality is not available to me,

Hi Cassie,

Thanks for your input. :) From Outlook, I went to Help/Microsoft Office
Online and I don't see a link to Office Discussion Groups. To help us get
this sorted, could you retrace your steps again to confirm the selections
you made? Perhaps you could copy/paste the URL?

Thans.

Resource Graph over-allocation

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 07:11 PM PST

To the curious:
Problem solved.
Two problems:

1. Resource graph did not show work but peak units,
2. And in the assignment of the resource units had received the work value.

Repeating Tasks

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 12:05 PM PST

Rod - thanks for the thoughts.
I played with it last eve. and here's what I came up with that works.
I set up 3 recurirng tasks as follows.
One called Nights, runs for 3 days, then repeats every 12th day.
One called Off, runs for 3 days and repeats every 6th day.
Lastly, one dalled Days, runs for 3 days, repeats every 12th.
I made all the days in the year working days, as his schedule runs across
all 7 days of the week.

Thanks again

John

How do you make the entire week workdays?

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 11:43 AM PST

There are several reply already telling you how to do this, but I should
add - Are you sure you really want to? Since the calendar controls the
scheduling of tasks and tasks usually are proken down to the level of the
work done by one person or a team of individuals, showing all 7 days as
workingg days implies that once a task starts, people will work on it every
day, no days off at all, until it' done. Before setting up your calendar as
7 days you should make sure that really describes what's going to happen
with your tasks. If there's a task that takes 2 weeks to do, will it be
worked on every day for 2 weeks without the people working on it taking any
days off?

RBS changes needed

Depending on what changes you make to the RBS, you will probably need to
manually edit the RBS field for some resources, and perhaps for all. Hope
this helps.

MS Project - Overallocated Resources - Different Cost

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 09:22 AM PST

There's no provision to automatically do what you ask. A couple of things
for explanation and a possible solution. "Overallocation" doesn't quite
mean what you're using it to be in that "allocation" not a direct indication
of number man-hours scheduled and an overallocation is not necessarily a
manpower shortfall. Allocations and overallocations refer to a rate
variable, namely the rate at which duration time is converted into useful
work output, not a scalar. Saying a resource is available 300% and at some
point he is allocated 400% doesn't really tell you anything that a cost
could be derived from because there's no indication of how much time the
overallocation exists for. It means that an existing resource is being
required to produce more work during some undefined time period than it is
physically capable of. One way to resolve it is to hire an external
resource, true. But another (and more common) way of resolving is to extend
the duration of the task, in the case of reducing a 400% allocation to a
300% and depending on the nature of the work itself one might extend the
duration by 33%, a 40 hour task becoming a 53 hour task for example thus
eliminating the need to hire more help. Or one might shift part of the work.
The classic case would be where Joe is booked for two full day tasks on
Monday, each required to produce 8 man-hours of work, when he only works an
8 hour shift. One of those tasks must be shifted to Tuesday because Joe
can't be in two places at once on Monday.

For a plan to be valid, all overallocations other than trivial ones
absolutely have to be resolved before the schedule is finalized, otherwise
you're virtually guaranteeing tasks will run late. Hence, by the time you
get to the point you're looking at costs, overallocations should no longer
exist in the plan and so there's no provision to assign them a unique cost
rate, in addition to the fact that a resource having a peak greater than his
allowed maximum still doesn't tell you how many hours that level is
required. What I would do in your case is create a new resource in the
resource list, named "Temp Fid Maker" or some such, and give them a rate of
$100. On the task in question, you would have two resources assigned -
"Existing Resource Team, 300%" and "Temp Fid Maker, 100%."

Recurring tasks with oddset schedules... HELP

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 08:51 AM PST

Double click on the subtasks. On the general tab, make sure that the rollup
to summary task box is checked.
Next go to format menu, barstyles. Create a bar style (or use a pre-existing
one) which has "Show for" set to "rolled up" Set the text for that bar to
show in the middle of the bar. Click OK

Can Project send emails using Novell Groupwise?

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 07:37 AM PST

Rick,

If you're talking about Project Server, it will use any SMTP gateway (including Groupwise - we use it right now) that you point it to, as long as that gateway is setup to accept and forward mail from outside sources. This is commonly known as a mail relay and mail administrators typically lock down mail relay so they don't become victims to spammers that hijack their gateway. However, if you talk to your mail admins and tell them what you need to accomplish the can "white list" your project server so mail relay will be allowed.

MSProject - how to place user defined "Custom File Properties" on.

Posted: 10 Feb 2005 01:25 PM PST

Hi G,

You are right, this cannot be done as uch.
The workaround is either not to use customproperties, but instead the textn
fields of the project summary tasks (which are accessible by page setup) or
to copy (possibly by VBA) the value of the custom property into a
projectsummarytask.textn field or also to copy them directly into the setup
header or footer.

stacking pictures in microsoft word

recommend the microsoft.public.word.newusers group

- however, displaying the drawing toolbar in word (view / toolbars /
drawing) and playing with the option under the "DRAW" icon would probably
give you what you were after. Note, however, first double click on the
pictures and choose the layout tab and then "tight" as this is the easiest
option when manipulating pictures in word.
