text in task bars

H

Dear MS Project specialists,

I am trying to enter text next to a task bar in a gantt chart. When I
click on the bar and say format bar and add text I then try typee in
the text but nothing appears. The help says go to customise fields,
select text 1 and rename.
I did this and still nothing appears. Please help.
How do I format the bar so that when I choose text 1 (to 30) that the
text i require (i.e. electrical drawings required) appears next to the
task bar?

Hope you can help.

Thanks

John.

Hi,

What will be shown is the value of the text1 (or textx..) filed.
Insert column, Text1, then fill the value for subject task.
OBTW, this is Project professional isn't it.? Bit confusing that this
question is in teh .server newsgroup.

You can format the Gantt Chart task bar using MS Project menu Format\Gantt
Chart Wizard. Select "Custom task information" and specify the applicable
text field in the appropriate display format.

Hopefully this helps you.
