How many multiple baselines can be viewed simultaneously? I have baselined
for 8 times. Is all possible 11 baselines can be viewed together to analyse
project progress

In theory, you could show all 11 Baselines in the Multiple Baselines Gantt.
To do this, apply the Multiple Baselines Gantt view and then double-click
anywhere in the white part of the Gantt Chart portion of the view. In the
Bar Styles dialog, notice that there are FOUR line items that define each
Baseline shown in the view. The first item shows the schedule for the
Baseline, the second item shows task splits in the Baseline schedule, the
third item shows the Baseline schedule for a Milestone task, and the last
item shows the Baseline schedule for a summary task. Study VERY CAREFULLY
how this view is defined, as you will need to set up additional line items
based on what you already see in this dialog.

To add the other Baselines, one at a time, you will need to add four
definition line items for each Baseline. For Baseline 3, 4, and 5, you will
need to choose a unique color and show these items on the 2nd row (notice
the number in the Row column). For Baseline 6, 7, and 8, you will need to
choose another unique color and show these items on the 3rd row. For
Baseline 9 and 10, you will need choose still another unique color and show
these items on the 4th row.

I have done this only for Baseline 3 and Baseline 4, and I was able to get
the information to show successfully. However, the mystery to me is how you
could possibly read and interpret this much information in the Multiple
Baseline Gantt view. I cannot even begin to understand what I see in the
this view with only THREE Baselines showing, and with FIVE Baselines
showing, my head begins to explode! :) Hope this helps.
