List of feature requests.

I didn't see any of these in this forum. I'm sure they've been asked for
before.
I'm using 2003, so forgive me if any of these have been already fixed.

1. Allow the Name of the task to be placed AFTER the task bar, after the
finish date. (similar to suretrack) This allows for all the data to be
displayed on a thinnner row.

2. Allow the row height to be adjusted and become default height.

3. Allow the text to wrap around and row height auto adjust to the wrap
around (with less clearance then currently used)

4. Allow the user to adjust the indent space. Only the distance of the - or
+ should be indented. Also less clearance between the -/+ and the task name.

5. On hover, display a bubble (windows standard) for the task name if text
wrap isn't used. This allow the user to see the hidden text.

6. Instead of using a display filter then printing, create a print matrix.
Print with the following
* Heading Levels[2]
* tasks Levels[2]
* Date
* task name
(You get the idea) Optional

7. Auto column reduction. Autosize row to smallest size. This and row height
let the user reduce the reports to the samlles size possible while still
legible.

I didn't see any of these in this forum. I'm sure they've been asked for
before.
I'm using 2003, so forgive me if any of these have been already fixed.

1. Allow the Name of the task to be placed AFTER the task bar, after the
finish date. (similar to suretrack) This allows for all the data to be
displayed on a thinnner row.

[Mike] This facility has been available in every version since Project 4.
Try Format/BarStyles and click on the Text tab.

2. Allow the row height to be adjusted and become default height.

[Mike] Again this has been possible for several versions. 2003 allows you
to drag a single row divider in the ID column to adjust the height. The
default height is based on the font sizes you've chosen to use.

3. Allow the text to wrap around and row height auto adjust to the wrap
around (with less clearance then currently used)

[Mike] I'm not quite sure what you want here as text wrapping occurrs when
you adjust the row height. The clearance is again based on the font size
you choose.

4. Allow the user to adjust the indent space. Only the distance of the -
or
+ should be indented. Also less clearance between the -/+ and the task
name.

[Mike] This is not changeable, however you can hide the +- via
Tool/Options//View tab and deselect Show outline symbol.

5. On hover, display a bubble (windows standard) for the task name if text
wrap isn't used. This allow the user to see the hidden text.

[Mike] That's an idea, though if you click on the task the full text appears
in the edit bar immediately above the column headings.

6. Instead of using a display filter then printing, create a print matrix.
Print with the following
* Heading Levels[2]
* tasks Levels[2]
* Date
* task name
(You get the idea) Optional

[Mike] No, I don't get this idea

7. Auto column reduction. Autosize row to smallest size. This and row
height
let the user reduce the reports to the samlles size possible while still
legible.

[Mike] As before, row height has a minimum size based on the font size. Try
font size of 4 and you'll get many more tasks on the page, though I don't
suppose you'll be able to read them
