Indention Problems

[Zardon]

When I indent, the preceeding task's duration changes to the same duration as
the current task. Also, when when unindenting or unoutdenting, how do you
remove or change the designation of summary or sub-task.

Yes, the info was helpful, thanks. When a subtask is mistakenly outindented
and made a summary, how do you unsummarize it. Deleting the contents doesn't
work and I don't want to affect the other subtasks or the original summary.

Hi,

Are you by any chance working on Project 2003 Standard, without Srervice
Release? In that release there is a problem with outdenting<; <if so,n apply
the Service Packs.
If not, simply outdent.

Hi Zardon,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

When you indent tasks the one above automatically becomes a Summary. Its
Duration is governed by the tasks it's summarizing and is the working
time
between the start of the first task to the finish of the last task.

You're welcome, Zardon

Select the tasks under the summary and then outdent.

I tried that. Initially, I indented using the space bar then move everything
back and used the indent icon. Could this have corrupted the indent function?
I opened a new file and tried part of it. It works ok.

Thanks,
Zardon
