Naming

[project newby]

Hi There,

I want to have the name of the parent cell displayed alongside the
gantt bars of the children cells.

If I had a task called, lets say, 'Chocolate Production' which
containned a number of sub-tasks such as 'grind cocoa beans', I would
want the have 'Chocolate Production' displayed next to all the
subtasks on the Gantt.

Can anybody help? Does anybody know what I am on about?

Thanks

project newby,
First of all, I think your Gantt display is going to get pretty crowded,
which might tend to make it unreadable. However, what you need to do is
to set up a spare field and then copy the summary line name to that
spare field for all subtasks. Then under Format/Bar Styles, set the text
for the normal Gantt bar to display the spare field on the left or right.
