How can change the cell's color?

[Kimon]

Hi,
Im using Project 2003 to create schedules in our advertising agency and I
wish to highlight certain cells or complete lines in different colors for
clarity and presentation purposes. This is not based on dates, type of field
or whatever. I just want to play around with colors.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Unless I missed something in the latest release, Project doesn't have
that capability.

This is what I thought. Am I the only who thinks they should do something
about it?

Im back to using excel now

I think the lack of color coding in tables is of less concern to most
of us than some of the more important features we'd like to see added
or changed, like turning off "Auto link tasks" by default or Resource
Pool instability issues. After all, to most of us, it's not graphics
software, but scheduling software. If you don't understand what it's
supposed to do, then it's likely you'll be dissappointed by what it
does.
Best of luck and I hope Excel does what you need!
