Thicker Bars on Gantt Chart

Hi -

Can I increase the thickness of the bars that show on the Gantt chart (like in P3) or am I stuck with only one thickness? I’ve looked, but I can’t find a place to do this.

Thanks,

Lawrence

    I know about that and what I am saying is that by selecting the thickest bar you still only get one that is 1/8" thick no matter how big you make everything else on your bar chart. When you enlarge everything on a chart to make a plot for a presentation, it looks funny to still have thin bars.

    Lawrence,
    I am afraid you cannot get other bar shapes and thicknesses than available in the Format, Bars dialog box; it would not be different with P3 or MS Project

    If you’ll choose the biggest shape this should be ok. But as you mentioned a plotter I remember to have had the same problem. Two solutions:

    - Wrong plotter-driver, install a new one
    - Lack of plotter’s memory: Start --> Printers --> select the plotter --> right click --> properties --> advanced options (this is different for different plotters) --> "Process document" mark "in computer".

    Hope this helps

    Regards
