How do I show the baseline on all tasks in the Gantt Chart?

[Zizi]

I saved a basleine but not sure how to show it in the Gantt Chart. I was able
to show it in the summary tasks by going to "Bar Styles" and adding a line
above summary....ect. How do I show the baseline on the lower level tasks?

You do it the same way. I think your problem is that you are inserting it
above the spot it should be.
Bars are drawn by project with the first row of the barstyles list first,
then the next row draws over it. etc.
So it is quite possible that the bar for "Normal" tasks (the typical wide
blue bar) is covering the baseline bar below it.
Put your baseline last in the list and use a style that does not cover any
of the other bars you want to see. I use a thin line along the bottom most
of the time.

An even easier way to show the Baseline is to select "Tracking Gantt"
from the Views list.

Hi Zizi,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Have you tried View/Tracking Gantt?

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Hey, I was just trying to teach Zizi to fish...

 

[davegb]

But I think the Tracking Gantt works everytime too...

 

[JackD]

Unless you start editing the barstyles on it...

 

[davegb]

That's why I usually don't teach them that!

There is a view already provided that does exactly that. Take a look at the
"Tracking Gantt" right on the view menu.
