Change highlight on summary tasks

[Michael Norrison]

I'm using a filter to highlight certain tasks that have fallen behind
schedule. However, my manager would like to see the summary tasks highlighted
as well if one if it's subtasks are highlighted, even if the summary task
isn't behind schedule overall. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks.

Michael --

Do the following:

1. Click Project - Filtered for - More Filters
2. Select the Filter you are using and click Edit
3. In the lower left corner of the dialog, select the "Show related summary
rows" option and click OK
4. Click the Close button

When you apply the filter, you will see the appropriate summary tasks
highlighted. Hope this helps.

Dale, thanks for writing. Actually, I did have "Show related summary
rows" checked, but they don't highlight. I should mention, that I'm using
the filter to highlight only, I'm not applying it so only filtered tasks
show. Basically, I want all the project tasks to display normally, but only
filtered tasks (and their parent summary tasks) highlighted. Thanks.
