hightlighting a three week period of a 78 week schedule

[Bill McDonald]

I would like to highlight (shadow?) 3 weeks of a 78 week construction
schedule; to show a three week look ahead schedule. I need to highlight the
three week time frame to show which activities are starting, on-going, or
finishing. How do I do this?

The ability to create "curtains" to hight a given section of the schedule
would be a nice feature. You can come close by drawing a rectangle on the
schedule with the drawing tool bar.

Once rectangle is drawn vertically, right click it, select properties and
then set the desired date anchor, color, etc. One of the features will let
you tie the rectangle to the time scale. If the rectangle covers up the
items on your Gantt chart, right click on the rectangle and use the "Order"
property to move it all the way to the back. Your color choices are somewhat
limited, see what works best for you.
