Rename Baselines

[Philippe De Ridder]

Is it possible to rename baselines 1 to 10 or add visible comments to them ?

Thanks beforehand !

Nope, not possible. I personally add Notes to the Project Summary Task (Row
0 or Task 0) to document what I am doing with Baselines. But no, you cannot
rename the additional 10 Baselines. Hope this helps.

Dale,
Too bad
I had ended up just using project summary also.
Could be part of a feature request... anyone from MS listening ?

Thanks for your contribution,

Philippe

Hi Phillipe,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

If you go to View/Table()/More tables, select Baseline and click Copy. You
can now add more columns, eg Baseline Start and give it a different name.
Would that do?

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

Hello Mike,
Sorry for answering so late but I have been out of connection for the last
couple of days.
Well, I can indeed create new baseline "tables" using your method but I do
not seem to be able to use them in the "set baseline" which is where I want
to see different baseline names.

In that case, Dale has already given you the negative answer.
