Hiding and unhiding columns in a plan

[bazzar greenisland]

I am able to hide columns for presentations but cannot put them back ie
un-hide. Looking a the help menu it states thta info is not lost but there
must be a way of adding the column you have hidden back into the plan without
either undo or saving as different plan.

Hi

In Project you "hide" a column to stop it being displayed and "insert" it
again to display it (just right mouse click & choose insert column)

Hope this helps
Cheers

I suggest that if you are freqently displaying the same set of columns for
presentation that you create a table and view for this purpose. Start with
the table. Go to views menu, tables , more tables, new table and define one
the way you like. Call it "Presentation" or something you can remember and
find easily. Then go to view menu, views. more views. new view and create a
view based on this table. Make sure that the "show in menu" option is
selected. Then from the view menu select that view. Make any last
adjustments to it and save your file.

Switch back to the gantt view or whatever you like to do work or tracking of
the schedule and when you need to make a presentation click on the
presentation view and it will be formatted just the way you want it.

I typically have a tracking view, a presentation view and a scratch view
(where fields are all over the place as required for whatever I'm trying to
do at the time) for my projects.
