Marc Soester Post from June re Font Color Workaround

[Sue C]

Marc,

Earlier you had posted a workaround for changing font colors in a
project, which I've attached here. After attempting this several
times, I find that the font color does "stick" when the .mpp file is
imported as a template. However, once I try to create a new project by
opening the template, the font color is gone. Is there something I'm
doing incorrectly? Please let me know how you've made this work.
Maybe I'm missing a step....

Hi Gary,

I thought this may interest you. I have found a good workarround.
1. Open the Enterprise Project Template
2. Change the Font Colors
3. Save it as an .mpp file
4. close the mpp file in Project Professional
5. Import the mpp file into Project Server using the import wizard.
During
the import save it as a template


This will retain the font colours
Not sure why, but it does work

Sue:

I think this technique will only work if you apply the font colors to a
non-Enterprise view, such as the Gantt Chart rather than the Enteprise Gantt
Chart. I haven't tried it myself.
