How can I write a note prepared in word format on the schedule prepared by
office project

 

[JulieS]

Hello Murat Koksal,

You can copy/paste the text from Word into the Note field on a task.
The task will have a note indicator in the notes field. You may
print the notes out as a separate page when printing the view by
selecting the option in the File > Page Setup dialog.

If you want text to appear directly on the Gantt chart graphic,
you'll need to work with the text box tool on the drawing toolbar.
Text boxes do not have formatting capabilities for the text. You
can change the background color of the text box or change line style
around the text box, but no text formatting choices.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Murat,

To insert a word document, proceed as follows:
Insert | Object... > Insert Object dialog box | (o) Create from File |
Browse... -Find your word file- | OK
and you can adjust the size and the position the word document frame as you
like. Double-click on the frame to edit the content, <Esc> to exit; or you
can try
the right-click shortcut menu to attach it to the timescale.

You can insert the object into the graph portion of any view containing a
Gantt
graph. The menu command will be grayed out anyway if it is inactive for the
current view.

Good golly Jan -- you're right! That's what I get for trusting the
toolbar. When I create a text box, all of the choices (Bold, Italic
etc.) in the toolbar are disabled. Thanks so much for pointing out
that the Format > Font menu works!

You're welcome Julie - pity, and incredible but true, we don't know
everything about Project
(One day years ago the CEO of IBM Belgium told me modesty was not one of my
weaker spots )

Sometimes I think the longer I spend using Project the more I
realize I don't know. Thanks again for decreasing the gap a bit
