Project 2003 Scheduling tool lesson

[DC Consultant]

Presently working the Microsoft Lesson of Scheduling at the website of:
http://office.microsoft.com/trainin...ID=RP010784011033&CTT=6&Origin=RC010779041033

Was able to set the tasks but the instructions make mention of the Increase
duration for the task that reads:


In your project schedule, click the Fixed Duration task.
In the Duration field, type 10d and press ENTER.
Note You may need to scroll right to see the Duration field.

Total hours of work for this task are now 80.

Where can I find the 'total hours' The duration of 10d is seen but not the
total hours. Is a change of view required? Guidance sought.

Hello DC Consultant

The directions are a bit confusing. In the Task Usage view, the
Work field shows the total hours for each task on the line with the
task name. You should see 80 hours of work on Fixed Duration line
as well as 80 hours of work for the resource Laura. If there were
other resources assigned, you see the work for each assignment in
the assignment row and the task row would show the sum of all of the
assignments.


I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
