SHADING BLOCKS OF TIME IN GANTT CHARTS

[andy]

i am interested in these threads that have been previously posted, as i have
been posed a question.. how can i show three different colured peroids on the
same plan i.e june to Oct, - Oct to Feb, - Feb to dec

All of these are working peroids - i would prefer not to to use Power Point
...but ..

Regards

Hello Andy,

I'm afraid short of drawing a rectangle covering the portions of the
Gantt chart and changing the fill colors, you are going to have to
resort to PowerPoint. You can use the non-working time shading,
however you can only apply one color at a time, so that option will
not suit your requirement for 3 different colors.

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

I don't have my copy at hand to check, but the 3rd party program
Milestones is built for making "pretty" project plans and it might have
that capability.

You're welcome Andy. Glad to have helped and thanks for the
feedback.
