    - Beginning to Format in Word 2002 First of all I would like to thank all of the MVPs for the work that you have given to helping users learn formatting. I am a 72 year old women who has been using a computer for years but gave up trying to use Word until my son got me Microsoft Suite 2006 which has where the newsgroup was given as one of the Help sources. I have really been working hard at Shauna's tutorials and have printed out just about everything that all of you have written. At this point in time I am still working on Shauna's tutorials. When she said that her mother was writing a letter in Excel. I thought "at last someone who understands." Ok now enough of the chat. My hobbies came to the point that I just had to start indexing my hundreds of articles, tutorials. After I read the MVP articles I knew I was going to have to learn how to format, I was wasting so much time looking through my binders, books, and magazines. I have just about finished Shauna's tutorials for the third time and actually starting to understand. I realize that I am going to have to overlearn to be comfortable but I just love doing it. It's like magic. 1. I have several binders full of the articles written by the MVPs. I realized that this would be a good starting point to format an index for each of the binders I have with your articles. I have turned out some pretty good looking indices (in my eyes)<g> In Basic Concept 4 Shauna says in the paragraph" How to remove the border"that the gridlines won't show when printed out. I have taken all of the steps she gives but the gridlines still print out. I just can't get rid of those gridlines. This isn't a big problem, but I would like to understand why the gridlines print out. 2. When the Modify Style Dialogue box comes up asking "Do you want to update the Style to relect changes"? or "Reapply the formatting of the style to the section" and lastly "Automatically update the Style from now on". I'm just not sure what I should do. I have just cancelled it because I don't want to mess up. 3. I Save as I go along, sometimes when I go to the Folder to work on the formatting tutorials I notice that some of the files have the following: ~$W to use the Reviewing Toolbar in Microsoft Toolbar in MSWord 2002. Why does it have ~$W. I opened the file but it was just gobblygook. 4. I used one of Shauna's articles and clicked on "Styles and Formatting" just to see how she formatted the article. What I want is to number the article say as 1. then for the other articles belonging to the main article have it showing as 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and then for the second article in the index or list 2., 2.2, 2.3. is that clear enough? It would be so easy for me to find what I am looking for. Thankyou all for your help deejay Deejay atkdj@microsoft.com from Beautiful Georgian Bay, ON.

    - which predecessor determines start date? When you are tracing through a schedule, is there an easy way to find out which predecessor drives the start date of the task you are on? I constantly find myself looking at a task which is not on the critical path, and which has lots of predecessors, wondering which one is driving the start date. What I do now is go to each of those predecessors and compare finish dates to my task's start date. But there must be an easier way. It's too bad Project doesn't just highlight it on the list of pred/successors in the bottom pane--is there some feature I don't know about?

When I'm doing a Gantt chart I enter the duration of a task (39 days) and the
end date -that appears automatically- appears as 2 years after. Why is this
happening and how do I solve it?

Re: How do I change the end date that appears automatically? by Steve

You say the finish date of the task is 2 years after the start date for a
task that has a 39 day duration?

This may sound silly but I'd look at the simplest things first. Perhaps
you're transposing the fields in a short date format and misreading it or
someone has changed the date format to display in a way you're not
expecting. A 39 day duration is a day shy of 2 months duration (1 month =
20 working days). Using the US MM/DD/YY short date format, a task beginning
16 April 2007 would show starting 04/16/07 and ending about 06/07/07. I
wonder if your date format has gotten switched around or that somehow you're
interpreting what's really the month field as the year? I've been in
organizations that used YY/MM/DD as their normal date format and if they
unexpectedly saw dates formatted with the standard US short date format
their first thought would be that the first 2 digits were the year when
really they were the month.
