Draw task bars in relation to slack on detailed gantt

[Anita]

On my detailed gantt chart view I am displaying the task bars (blue) and the
amount of slack (green) at the end of each task with the amount of slack
displayed as text at the end of the bar. I also have a progress line drawn
on the view. What I would like to do is draw the task bar so that it starts
at the end of the slack rather than at the beginning so that my progress line
doesn't show my tasks being behind. Is this possible using Project 2007? Any
help gratefully received, hope that makes sense.
Thanks, Anita

What about setting the task to run from the Late Start to the Late Finish.
Wouldn't that achieve the same thing? The Progress Bar may be a bit tricky
however.

That worked thanks! The only thing is now that some of my slack lines that I
had drawn in have disappeared and I'm not sure why - any ideas?

Hi Anita,

The lines on the Gantt Chart are drawn in the order that they appear in the Bar Styles dialog. Check that they are in the correct order to prevent overwriting of what you want to see.
