Change Project Summary Color

[Ed]

Hi all,

I've done this before, but just can't remember how.

All projects go through a defined life-cycle, i.e. Initiating, Planning,
Executing, etc. This is used to build our WBS. I would like to distinguish
each phase in the overall Project Summary with a different colour, while
still maintaining the progress line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are probably looking for this:

Go to Format Menu > Text Styles. From 'Items to Change' dropdown select the
Summary Tasks.

You can create a view with your customization. LAter just selecting a view
will apply your settings. Try this.

Thanks for the prompt reply Faisal, but it does not answer my question.
To be more specific:
I want to subdivide the Overall Project Summary(Level 0) per phase. Each
phase has a colour representing the start to finish of this phase on the
Gantt chart.

Therefore when I roll up to the level 0, the overall project summary will
display 5 different colours, each color representing when a particular phase
starts and finishes.
I hope I have explained my query better.
Many thanks for any assistance.

I'm not sure you can roll up a summary task to another summary task. You can
certainly roll up tasks to a parent summary, but there isn't the option in
the Task Information dialog to allow summary tasks to roll up to the next
level.
