un-publish?

Using Project 2003...

A Project Manager wanted to publish only the tasks for the
current phase, but accidentally published all of them.
This makes the Team Members' task views rather cluttered.
Is there any way for the Project Manager to "un-publish"
tasks?

One workaround I thought of was Hide Tasks from Timesheet,
which we currently do NOT allow Team Members to do. But
even if I were to allow that, every Team Member would have
to go in and individually hide every task from the future
phases.

It does help for the Team Member to view "Current Tasks"
instead of "All Tasks", but we would still like to "un-
publish" the tasks for future phases, if there is a way?

Thanks

Jo:

Two alternatives. You can go through the steps of saving the plan to file >
deleting it from the server > Import the file again > publish the correct
assignments. Another possibility is to change the assignments on the future
tasks to proposed, rather than committed, which will remove the tasks from
the users timesheets.

Gary,

Thanks for the info. I don't quite follow how to "change
the assignments on future tasks to proposed." Change the
Resource's Booking Type to Proposed? Won't that change it
for the whole project? How can I change it for an
individual task? It also warns me that changes won't be
saved to the Enterprise Global - is that what I want, to
just change the booking type for the project, locally?
