Showing Task Names on All Task Bars

[John G]

I have been trying to show all the task names on my task
bars and have been having difficulty doing it for all the
sub task bars for the different projects represented in
the GANT Chart. The chart shows many projects with a
couple of sub tasks under each. I can get all of the main
project bars to universaly show the name I want using the
bar styles screen but when I use the same screen for the
sub tasks only a few projects are effected. I did update
each bar individualy (which fixes the problem)but do not
want to do this each time I want to change something. Any
help or ideas are appreciated.

John,
Did you perchance custom format one or more individual task bars? My
guess is those are the bars that are not 'responding" to the
Format/barstyles text setting. If you need to have custom bar formatting
on selected tasks, then you will have to set the text for each. If you
do not need custom bar formatting, then select all tasks, go to
Format/Bar and hit the "reset" button. Now you should be able to set the
task name on all normal tasks using Format/Barstyles.

Hope this helps.
John
