How do I increase font size in Notes field on report?

[Dan Filpus]

How do I make the default font size in the Task Notes field bigger in my
global template (Project Pro 2003)? I have task reports that we run
frequently where we have to increase the font size manually each time a task
note is added. I've been to Format/Text Styles, but I don't see an option to
increase the font size for the Notes field.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Dan,

I am assuming you want to change the way the *printed* notes appear. I'm
sorry, but as far as I know there is not a method other than the one you are
using (manually changing the font in the Notes tab on the Task Information
dialog box.).

Some quick testing confirmed the following:

If I add the Notes field to the task table, select the column heading and go
to Format > Font, I can change the appearance of the Note text in the table.
Sadly, this change does not affect how the Notes are printed from the view.

If I manually change the font of the note from the Notes tab in the Task
Information dialog box, that change does appear on the printed view and in
reports.

There *may* be a method through VBA, but sadly, I don't know enough about
VBA to confirm if it is possible or even suggest where to start. Perhaps
one of the VBA gurus will weigh in, or better yet, try posting what you are
looking to do to the Project developer newsgroup
(microsoft.public.project.developer)

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