Changing the appearance of bar and task names

You can change the colour, font, style, size and alignment of bar and task names and other information in the spreadsheet. For example, you could show the names of important tasks in large red letters.

To change the appearance of bar and task names, you can use the Formatting toolbar or the Format Cells dialog.

To change the appearance of bar or task names:

  1. Select the bar or task name you want to edit by clicking it in the spreadsheet. You can select multiple bar and task names by dragging the pointer down the Name column. Any formatting changes will apply to each selected cell in the spreadsheet.
  2. Use the Formatting toolbar or Format Cells dialog to change the font, size, style, colour and alignment of the selected cells.

You can format information in other columns of the spreadsheet in the same way as you format bar and task names. When a cell is selected, you can right-click the selected row in the spreadsheet and select Format Cells to change the formatting, alignment and colour of all the cells for the bar.
