Hi Jakes,

You can customize the gantt chart to include/exclude different formatting
items such as the task name, resources, dates, .. etc. To do that, you can
right click on the gantt chart then select "Gantt Chart Wizard".

In your case, follow the instructions in the Gantt Chart Wizard and when you
come to the wizard page (what task information ...) choose "custom task
information" and from there you can select the needed details from the
drop-down lists noting that the task description in the drop lists is
referred to as "name" ...

I hope this can help

Hisham.

Format/Bar Styles...
Select a task type such as Task, Milestone, Summary...
Pull the text tab at the bottom and then choose "Name" from one of the
dropdowns.
You may vary the information displayed depending on the task type.
