Viewing task Name on Tools Bar

[Lori]

I lost the option of viewing the task name on the Tools Bar.. I believe there
is a set up someone that must of been turned off.. Any suggestions?

Hi Lori,

Sorry, I don't understand your question. The task name appears in the
task name column. Are you looking to have the name appear on the task
bar in the Gantt chart? Try Format > Bar Styles, select the "task" bar
and select "Name" from the left, right, above or below area on the Text tab.

If this is not what you needed, please be clearer about what you mean by
the "task name on the Tools Bar"

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

When I am in the plan if I scroll on any line for the taskname it used to appear on the tool bar. I no longer have this functionality and its harder to keep track of where I am.. I hope this makes sense more of my issue..

Hello Lori,

Are you referring to the Entry Bar? The entry bar is usually
immediately below the tool bars which shows whatever you have selected
-- whether it be the task name or any other field in the table. Try
Tools > Options, View tab and select the option for "Entry bar" to see
if that is what you are looking for.

I hope this helps.
