Task bar is not displaying in Gantt Chart

[Alayna]

Hi there,

I have copied another person's MS Project Plan (version 2003) and then
modified it with additional tasks for a similar project I am managing.
Inexplicably some of the tasks are not displaying in the Gantt Chart.
I have compared the tasks not displaying with tasks that are displaying by
going to the task information on both of them and also to the view menu and
compariing the calendar information - the tasks that are not displaying do
not have 'hide task bar' checked.
It is very perplexing - but I'm sure there is a simple solution!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi

Are you sure that you are displaying all outline levels -- check on
the toolbar ....

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your post.

Since posting my query, about 1 minute ago - I found out what the problem
was.
The person who had produced the Gantt chart before me - that I have copied
and am using as a template - had set some of the bar formats so they
displayed 'white' under the colour option. So this meant I couldn't see the
bars displayed, even if they were there.

I have changed the colour of all bars under the Format menu/then chose 'Bar'.

And presto - no more problem.

Thanks again,

Alayna
