Task Name in Network Diagram

[montbrae]

When entering the Task Name through the Gantt Chart or other sheet it allows
for long and descriptive names. Unfortunately these are truncated in the
network diagram box.

Is there any way to show the complete task name in the network diagram box?

You can format a box to show up to three lines. That may be enough to get a
few more words in.
Steps:
Right click a box and select "Format"
Click on the "More Templates" button
Copy the template you want (you can not edit the built-in styles)
Highlight/select the "Name" field In the "Limit cell text to" box select "3"
Click OK

Now select the tasks and right click and apply the new template to them.

You can format the box to be much larger.
