Wrapping text in MS Project

J

I have a task in a schedule that I cannot get to wrap when
printed or in print preview. It is wrapped on the screen
in the normal view. Other tasks within the schedule wrap
correctly. Have tried other printers does not seem to be
a printer or print driver problem.
Help!!
Thanks,
JDM

I feel bad not providing the answer because I do not know
it. But I see that you can wrap text in the task name but
I do not find how to do it.

Can you tell me how do you wrap the text in the task name
field?

vd2,
There are a couple of ways to see text wrap in Project. One is to click
on the task row dividers and pull down to expose additional lines of
text. For Project 2000 and up individual task row heights can be
adjusted. In Project 98 and earlier, if one row height is increased (or
decreased), all rows will be.

The second method is to go to, View/Table/More tables. In the More
Tables window that appears the active table for the active view will be
highlighted. Hit "edit". In the Table Definition window adjust the row
height value in the lower right hand corner of the window. This setting
will apply to all task rows for that Table.

Note that text will only wrap for Project fields that have spaces
between text "words". This excludes the Predecessor and Successor fields
because they do not have any spaces.

Hope this helps.
John
