Draw in a Network Diagram

[Charlie]

I use Project 2000..

Is it possible to use the "Draw" toolbar in a Network Diagram or Calendar?

For my Gantt charts, I add images, arrows , text and images etc. and it
greatly improves the readability of the charts.

When I try it with the Network Diagram, the draw tollbar is greyed out???

Do later versions of Project allow for annotations

Thanks,

charlie

Charlie,
In a quick test with Project 2003, I'd have to say "no". The only thing
that kind of worked was the line tool between network "boxes" - using it
created a link.

Hi Charlie,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The drawing tools only work in the Gantt Chart view, sorry

Thanks Mike!

Can anyone suggest an add-in or product which works with MS Project that
would allow me to "annotate" on my Pert/Network Diagrams?

I used a package 15 years ago called MacProject which allowed me to do this
effortlessly:-(

In the meantime, here is what I am trying...

I downloaded a product called PERT Chart EXPERT by Critcaltools ....but it
seems to have the same limitatation...

My next step may be save a bmp version from PERT Chart EXPERT, then import
the bmp into Visio for further editing...???

Any suggestions will be appreciated,

Thanks again,

Charlie
