Dates Showing up in Gantt Bars

[Linda]

I have created a master schedule containing several sub-
projects. I condensed the detailed tasks into their
respective summary tasks, and in only two cases, I'm
seeing the start date within the gantt chart bar. I can't
get them to go away -- any ideas as to why they're
displaying and how to get rid of them?

Hi Linda,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Try Format/Bar Styles.../Text tab and delete Start fom the Inside setting.

Next time, try posting on the project newsgroup, as this one is closing
down! Please see FAQ Item: 24. Project Newsgroups. FAQs, companion
products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web
address: http://www.mvps.org/project/.

Mike:

Thanks for the heads up on this closing down. Regarding
the dates showing in the bar, I did go into the format
dialog box yesterday before posting this -- there's
nothing in the text box! This only shows on two of
perhaps 50 bars -- that's why I'm confused. If you have
any other suggestions, I'd be grateful to hear them.

Thanks again,

LK

Try doubleclicking the bars themselves and removing the Bar text.

I did that -- there is no text showing, yet the start date
is still displayed on the bar.

I'm fresh out of ideas, Linda You could try copying the whole task
(click the ID/row number so that the whole row goes black) and then pasting
it at the bottom (is the date still there?). Then delete the offending task
and copy/paste it back from the bottom. Or you could try deleting the task
and then re-typing it in. Save a backup first and experiment a bit!

Hello Linda,

I am not totally sure what you mean but isn't it just by right clicking in
the toolbar and hide this toolbar effective? Or rightclick in the task.
