MS Project 2000 - Drawing Lines

C

Cloudburst99

I am a new user to MS Project 2000. I just completed my first Gantt chart and
would like to draw bold lines under some of the horizontal lines as section
delineations.

The lines that are to be drawn are random. I could not say, for example, to
draw a line when, say, the category changes, because they are random.

How can I randomly make the bottom border of a few lines thicker and bolder?

You can't. You can use the drawing tools to draw a line, but if anything
changes the line will be in the wrong place.
If you want to organize by sections use grouping.

Actually, may I give you an example of what she wants:

Task 1 - Mary, John, Steve and Paul
Task 2 - Mary, John, Steve and Paul
Task 3 - John and Paul
Task 4 - John and Paul
Task 5 - John and Paul
Task 6 - Peter, Victor and Don
Task 7 - Brian and Susie
Task 8 - Brian and Susie

This very primitively shows a task and the resource names which appear at
the end of the timeline. Well, everytime the group of resource names changes,
she wants a thicker line drawn for the border of that task. That means,
given the above example, she wants a thicker line in the Gantt Chart for the
line at the bottom of the row for the following:

Task 2
Task 5
Task 6
Task 8

Hope that helps. (It doesn't seem I can do this using Groups as some of the
individuals are involved in two separate groups - e.g. Paul is involved in
the Task 1, 2 and 3 grouping but is also invovled in Tasks, 4, 5 and 6.
