    - Changing Text styles on all projects I want to change the text style for milestones to be red italics. I can change it in an individual project, but I want this to be my default. I tried copying the Entry Table from the project where I changed the text style to Global.mpt, then copying it from Global.mpt to another project. Didn't work. Does anyone know how to change a text style on all future projects? And how to change a text style on past projects to match one you've already changed, without editing them in each project separately? Thanks in advance!

    - Values not displaying in resource usage view I have work and actual values in the resource usage view. I can see them in the summary values next to the resource names on the left side of the view. When I look at the grid to the right there is nothing there. I can even enter something in the grid, and it immediately disappears, but the summary values to the left are updated. What is happening? Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer?

    - Filtering on late milestones I have a master schedule with 5 fairly lengthy inserted schedules that I need to manage from different cross functional groups. Rather than manage each line in each schedule my plan is to manage major milestones (and by manage I mean look for schedule slippages) I would like to set up a Filter on the following: 1) Milestone tasks 2) < 100% complete 3) Due before today Can anybody help me with this? Although I have been using project for years I haven't really made real use of it's features and filters are one area I am new to.

    - Adding a resource in the middle of the task Hello, I am somewhat new to MS Project. Is it possible to add a resource to a task after the task has already started. I was currently trying to use the personal calendar, but I dont want to turn days to non-working days that are prior to a resources start on a task because I want that resource working on another task. So, is it possible to add a resource and make that resource start doing work on a task in the middle of that task? thanks, Scott Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76136

    - entering actual duration question I have a Fixed Duration task of 12 hours - a meeting of three four sessions to determine test cases - which has completed. The timeframe for 12 hours to occur could be accomplished in 2 days but because of other things on each person's schedule (i.e vacation, other commitments, etc.) it took 2 weeks to perform the 12 hour task Since all planned attendees attended, I enter 12 hours at the task level and let Microsoft divide up the work hours. I also physically entered both the start date (of our first meeting of 11/8/2004) and the end date (of our last meeting of 11/23/2004). Once I entered the above start and finish dates of the meetings, MS Project lengthened my actual duration to a much longer duration than 12 hours. Why? I'm not sure what I need to do to get MS Project to reflect the reality of 12 hours duration? Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76128

    - Master Plan grouping by Outline Code does not work Using Project Server 2003, we need to create master plans to include task-level data within portfolio reports. We have a custom MS Project 2003 Grouping that has an Enterprise Project Outline Code as one of its grouping values. This Outline Code has 3 levels within its structure and we only want to group by the 3rd level. MS Project allows this, however the grouping seems to be duplicated in the view. All of the projects with the same outline code value do not group together. This works fine if the view is for only one project. Has anyone created a level specific grouping for a master project plan? Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76114

    - start & finish dates - what happens to dates inbetween I have a large project that I need to create a pivot table and various reports on. Th e pivot table needs to display by week, the amount of hours that are required by each resource. However, I can only export Start & Finsih dates to Excel, I am unable to work out how to create a pivot table that will show that a resource is working on a task over 3 months so Wk1 = 16 hrs effort, wk2 etc..... Using grouping on the pivot doesn't work as it only shows the week the task starts in. Does Project have a 'work effort by week' report? The 'resource usage' report gives me what I want, but I can't export it to Excel, is there a way???? Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76089

    - How do I weight percentages using Project 2000? Is there a way to reflect the weighting of percentages? For example I have a task with two subtasks. One sub-task is 100% and the other is 60% which shows that task to be 86% complete. Disregard the days, since this person really dragged their heals and really should have only taken a month, but the effort was easy compared to the other task.

    - Administrative projects of Project server Hello! We have a lot of problems with "administrative projects" - non-project items for which we need to report time (vacation days, sick time, etc). The problem is that these administrative projects still seem to behave like normal projects. For example, MS Project still tries to calculate an end date, a task duration, the amount of remaining work, etc, for things like sick time or vacation. I would really appreciate if I could get any help on how to correctly use the "administrative project" feature of Project Server. Thank you. Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer?

    - Project 2002 will run install when opened Everytime a user opens MS proj 2002 it runs the install. It used to work fine before. I uninstalled it as an admin and re-installed at users login (a network install, with user users given rights in a group to install), but problem comes back. We are using Office XP sp3 and Win XP sp2. It gives a message saying Project was not closed properly and will open in safe mode. Choosing yes or no gives same action, that is re-installing the software and at the end will give an error msg that the system is out of memory, and terminates the install. The system has 1GB RAM. Virus and spyware scans were done and nothing much suggest of a virus or spyware problem. Any suggestions. Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76058

    - Autofilter - Missing data in drop box I have a large file with multipule names in over 1800 rows, as well as other information in the columns, such as ref numbers. The problem is when I use Autofilter, some of the names in one column doesn't show in the drop down box. As an example, let say you have the letter A in A1, B in A2 and C in A3 with the heading of "Letters". When you use autofilter, you should see A, B, C in the drop box. However, in my case, I'm only seeing A and C, I'm not able to find B in the drop down box list. I'm seeing this same problem in my spreadsheet, however, it's on a much larger scale. What is more frustrating, is when I use the autofilter drop box I can see (for example) letter X in row 1200 but letter Y in row 1201 isn't avaliable. There isn't any gaps inbetween the data, and I can't see any reason why a field in a column wouldn't show up when the one right above it is showing up! If anyone has clue on how to fix this, please let me know!!! Tag: How to transfer Project 2003 to a different computer? Tag: 76053

For example, a developer is going to spend 2 weeks coding something at 100%, but during day 4,5,6 & 7, I want him allocated to this task 50% of the time, and another task also at 50%. Then from day 8 (when the second task is done) till the end, have him back to 100% allocated. I currently do this by manually adjusting the hours on day 4,5,6,7 in the Resource Usage View, but I am looking for an easier way to set up the task rather than manually adjusting the work hours.

Hi,

I have a licensed and activated copy of Project 2003 on an old notebook
computer. I have bought a new notebook and would like to transfer my Project
2003 to the new computer and remove it from the old one.

Is there a recommended way to go about doing this?

Just go ahead and install it on the new computer. When you run it, it will
try to activate and find it has already been activated on the old computer.
It might go ahead an activate anyway, I don't have the EULA handy but I
believe it does allow for two activations, supposedly one desktop plus a
portable like a laptop but AFAIK there's no way it'll know it's actually two
laptops. If it doesn't, call the activation phone number and MS will
deactivate the first install and give you the key to activate it on the new.
