Colour Coding in Calendar

[AnMalivoire]

Hi There

I was certain I've done this in the past, but it's been several years since
I've last used Project. I've sorted out my colour coding of the font in the
Gantt view, however the colour of the font is not translating to the Calendar
view. How can I ensure this is colour coded to match?

Hi AnMalivoire,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The Calendar view has always been the poor relation to the Gantt Chart. The
only options are those offered in the Text Styles dialog, with marked tasks
giving you a single variation.

Thanks Mike!

My final question is this - is there a way to manually change a task to
critical or is it only calculated based on lag time?

 

[Jan De Messemaeker]

Hi,

It is calculated on Lag time.
You can make it critical by giving it a Must Start On constraint but of
coures that the dates are no longer calculated.
Hope this helps,

You're welcome, AnMalivoire

If you're not sure how critical tasks are calculated, you might like to see
