Notes section not showing all the information

[Andrew]

I am producing a view in which I have all the programme information but not
the bars. ie act no. description, start etc.. I also include the notes as
this is where I include assumptions and the working out for the durations. I
have noticed that the notes section does not display all my notes. It stops
with .. after some of the text. It only happens when I start on a new line as
opposed to carrying on typing. My reasoning makes better sense if i can list
items with the working out next to them

ie
360M2 x .05 (rate) = 180 man hours and so on
200M2 x 1

is there a way of doing this ?

Regards

Andrew

Andrew,
No, not with the Notes field displayed as a column in a view. The Notes
field is truncated after 255 characters or the first line feed,
whichever occurs first.

The full notes text can seen in one of three ways. First, by selecting
the Notes tab under Project/Task Information. Second, in a hard copy
output by selecting the "print notes" option under the view tab of
File/Page Setup. Third, by exporting the Notes field text to another
application. And by the way, cut and paste won't work, either VBA is
required or an SQL on Project's database.

If you are interested, I have a macro that exports the Notes field text,
(and other select Project data fields), to Excel. Not quite what you
were looking for, but it may be a viable option. Countless users have
requested the macro over the years. For more info, write me at the
address below. I will ask some questions.

Andrew,
I encode my e-mail to prevent spamming. Keep working on it. Take out
what doesn't obviously belong, convert a couple of things to normal
e-mail address convention and try again.
