Manual Box Positioning on network diagram

[IDRincon]

I am using Project Standard 2003 and I have a large project (close to 500
tasks). I want to reposition some boxes in my network diagram but the option
I have always used in "Format > Layout" is greyed out and I can select "allow
manual box positioning" ! It has never happen to me. Does anyone knows why is
that happening and of course how to fix it?

Hi IDRincon ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

I can't reproduce you experience. We need to discover whether your project
is at fault, whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does
the symptom occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur with this
project on other PCs? Does it occur with other projects on other PCs?

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

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

Thanks Mike.

It only happens in this particular project. I have other projects (separate
files actually) and it works fine. I just updated from project 2002 to 2003
one week ago and it is the first time I open up this project, so I wonder if
something on the file is not liked by 2003... I'm going to try to open the
file in another PC with Project 2002 to see what it does.
