LMMBLS,
It must have been earlier than anything publicly released for Project
2000 because Project 2000 acts the same way as current Project versions.
Earlier versions of Project (i.e. Project 98 and earlier didn't even
have a WBS Predecessor field). As Julie noted the WBS Predecessors and
Successors fields are information fields (i.e. calculated by Project -
not editable by the user). Are you sure you're not thinking of Unique ID
Predecessors, because that field WILL accept user input.

John,
I was being dumb - I've now spotted how to assign resources to the summary
task!

Sorting Resource Names in Task Views

Cory,
The only way I know for the option to be disabled is if the other
option, namely "Sort resources by project", is unchecked. Try checking
that box and then go for the re-numbering.

Hope this helps.

Task Name without Duration etc.

Or you could just hide the columns.

Diana,
I agree with Mike on the idea of creating a custom view (although maybe
you don't care if you modify the built-in version).

I will however comment on your other post about hiding a column in
Project. True, in Excel a column can be hidden by simple dragging its
vertical bars together and then separating them again to show the
column. Project does have this feature but when hiding a column in
Project, the data is not "lost", it is temporarily not viewable until
the column is added back to the view table. What cannot be hidden in
Project are the task rows. Deleting a row in Project does in fact
totally delete the information, unless of course "Edit Undo" is
performed immediately afterward.

With regard to your wish to combine closely related tasks, why not
simply modify the task description to include both parts. Don't get to
cryptic though or it won't be understandable by those who view the
PowerPoint presentation. Another thought, if you are putting together a
PowerPoint presentation you probably want a high level overview anyway.
Go ahead and create the detail schedule (one task per line) but then
include Summary Lines to capture the general idea of related groups of
subtasks. When done, collapse the schedule by double clicking the little
plus or minus box next to the Summary LInes. Then copy and paste the
resulting overview schedule for PowerPoint.

Hope this helps even more.

Hi,

Through View, More Views.. Edit look at the definition of the view that
