Hi Julie,

A custom template makes perfect sense yet I am having trouble getting started.

For grins, I opened a new .mmp file, opened the Bar Styles dialog box, cut all of the existing rows and added a custom row. But now when I enter a task a gantt bar does not appear. Clearly what I did was wrong but the fundamental question I have is how do you get a task to use a custom bar style or any bar style for that matter? This confuses me in that the default bar style dialog has close to 40 different styles yet it is not clear how one is used over the other, how you change between the different styles or how you can tell which style is being used for any given task.

Could you help clarify?

Thanks.
