Hi guys

IN MS Project, you can add text around the bars in the graph, left, right, above, below or inside.

To modify the size, font and etc, you can do Format/Text Style, and chose the text in the dropdown list

But how do you specify the alignment
of those texts?

I would like to center the text inside the bar!

    Hi Nicolas

    I’m not sure of the terminology for the French MS Project version, but you can use the Gantt Chart Wizard (Format > Gantt Chart Wizard).

    As you scroll through the Wizard, you’ll see a radio button entitled ‘Custom task information’. You should be able to align the text as you wish using this option.

    I think you can also format the bar styles as well (Format > Bar Styles > Text tab).

    Regards,

    Tks Darren,

    But in my French Version of MSP (2002)
    you can chose what text you show right or left
    of the bar or inside the bar,
    but what I would like to do is not only chose
    the text (remarks as a matter of fact)
    but also center it in the middle of the bar

    I see no option either in
    ’Custom task information’
    (Infos sur la tâche personnalisées)
    or in Format > Bar Styles > Text tab
    Format/style des barres, onglet Texte

    Nicolas,

    Sorry I misunderstood your post, I don’t think you can change the alignment for text inside the bar. There is only the default (align left).

    Regards,

    Darren
