Moving around the bar chart

As you develop your project, you will need to bring different areas of it into view in the bar chart. There are a number of ways that you can move around the bar chart:

Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars which are attached to the bar chart window. Drag the scroll box along the bar, click the scroll bar at either side of the scroll box, or click the arrow buttons at either end of the scroll bar to bring different areas of the project into view. Use the diagonal scroll buttons to scroll diagonally around the bar chart.
Click and drag in the date zone: hover the mouse pointer over a blank area of the date zone (ie not over a tick line) and click. When the cursor changes to , you can drag left or right to scroll the bar chart.
Enter a date into the control in the Show group on the View tab, then press ENTER. The bar chart scrolls horizontally to bring that date into the center of the window.
Use keyboard shortcuts such as PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN. All the keyboard shortcuts for moving around the bar chart are listed below.
Select a bar or spreadsheet cell then click in the Editing group on the Home tab to bring the first task on the selected bar into view (or click the button without selecting anything to bring the first task on the first bar in the current view into view). Note that if a spreadsheet cell that displays data specific to a particular task on a bar is selected, clicking this button scrolls the view so that the particular task is brought into view.

If you have a wheel mouse, you can move around the bar chart using the following additional techniques:

Rotate the wheel to scroll up and down the bar chart.
Pan the bar chart horizontally and vertically for continuous scrolling around the project. To pan around the bar chart, click the wheel button to insert the origin mark, then move the pointer around the bar chart. The further the pointer is moved from the origin mark, the faster the bar chart pans. To end panning, click any mouse button.

You can also use the additional features of a wheel mouse to move around histograms and Library Explorer.
