Can't Change Row Height

[LarryG]

Hello All,

Looking for assistance in chaning row heights in a Gantt Chart view. I have
tried selecting individual rows and selecting all rows and then dragging the
bottom margin of the row to reduce the size but the effect does not occur. I
have also gone to View|Table|More Tables and attempted to edit here. But all
my rows show a "1" row height value. The rows will change if I increase the
row height to a "2" or more value.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Larry,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The minimum row height is goverened by the font size and the information
included above and below the Gantt bars. To check the font size, select all
the tasks and Format/Font and change the font to a small size. If that
doesn't reduce the row size, then you need to look at the Gantt bars. Check
Format/Bars Styles/Text and ensure there are no fields showing above or
below the bars. You could also try to select all tasks and check Format/Bar
for the same.

Mike,

Thank you for the direction. I had field values above my summary tasks but
was not able to remove all with one set of formatting steps. However, your
suggestion made me review the formatting and I recreated the Gantt Bars to a
basic non-field display and then reapply the field values I wanted.

End result - I was able to control row heights and display as desired.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I followed FAQ item 43 to no avail. (the .mpp file size is 453 KB, the .mpd
1084 KB). Any more suggestions other than to start over? Is there an easy way
I can copy calendars, resouces etc from one project to another?

Hi Pete,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

I think I would try re-building the project. You could try the Gantt Chart
view, select all the tasks and copy them to a new project. Then repeat for
resources from the Resource Sheet view. Calendars, etc can be copied via
the Organizer.

You might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the
TechTrax ezine, particularly #32 on the Organizer, at this site:

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the article before leaving the site,
Thanks.)

If it helps, you could zip up a copy of the project and send it to me to
have a look at.

BIG thanks for your help Mike! Rebuilding the project was not such a big deal
using the organiser. Have a great week.

The only thing that worked for me was select all - Bat Styles/Format/Bar - Reset
