Task Name Length display

[tshad]

Is there a way to handle long tasknames for display on printouts?

I have some fairly long task names that prevent me from showing the total
description (about 2 lines worth) and my time graph on the same page (even
when landscaped and printed at 60%).

It would be nice if they wrapped.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,
The Task Name field is one of the fields that does wrap - if you set it
up to do so. There are multiple ways to word wrap text in Project
although it is not called word wrap like it is in every other
application. In Project, it's all about row height.

If you want to individually increase task row height, "grab" the row
separator line beneath the row you wish to increase and pull it down as
far as needed to let text fields wrap. Note: fields in Project will only
wrap if there is a space between words.

If you want to set a specific row height for all task rows, go to
View/Table/More Tables. The current view table will be selected in the
selection list. Hit "edit" and then set the row height value in the
Table Definition window that appears.

Hope this helps.

Perfect.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
