Is there a way to color code the bars on the Gaant chart
based on a information contained within a column(text1)?

Not directly for "Text1".
You can, however, use Flag1 to control the display of the bar and you can
use Text1 to control Flag1.
Step 1: display the bar based on Flag1.
a. Format | Bar Styles and scroll to the bottom of the entries.
Note: the sequence of processing is important. Colours set in the first
row can be overridden by colours set in later rows. We want to use a row
after all the defaults have been processed.
b. Click the cursor on the first unused line.
c. Set Name to "tflag1"; set the appearance colour to light blue; set "Show
for ... Tasks" to "flag1"; click on ok.
Click on View | Gantt, display Flag1 and set it to true to make certain you
have done the first part correctly.
Step 2: set Flag1 based on Text1.
a. Display the Text1 field.
b. RightMouseButton on the Flag1 column header and click on Customized
fields ...
c. Click on the formula button.
d. In the box for the forumla paste the ollowing line (include the quotes
and the brackets):
[Text1]="stuff"
e. Click on OK twice.
In the Text1 field type "stuff" (no quotes this time) and you should see the
desired results.
