I have been given a MSP schedule that includes a mystery graphic. An arrow shows up on print-outs & in print-preview but is nowhere to be found in the Gantt chart.

Has this happened to anyone else? How does one get gid of it?

    Either you check the bar styles or you might have included deadline dates.

    This is a drawing object. Graphic arrow.

    If by the object format, send to the top/front, can it be view on screen? Current setting may be send to back.

    If I could select it I could delete it. As it is, there is nothing visible to select. It is only visible on print preview and print-outs.

    I did finaly get rid of it by selectively deleting tasks until it went away. I just don’t understand how it happened.

    May be the graphic is in transparent mode, so you cannot find it on screen.
    If you activate the graphic drawing mode, select the whole area, it may be selected.

    I think, it is a problem of that particular view. Crate a new veiw with the similar layout,I hope you will get rid of these type of problem.

    There is a toolbar to switch drawing mode on. I suspect that in your case it has been switch on an arrow drawn and switched off again. Sometimes something that can be seen in one view can’t be seen in another ie. different colours between standard gantt and tracking gantt. So your arrow could be several years away from where you think it is. If you try changing the timescale to years often that brings a mystery drawing item into focus.
