Some won't like it, but I tend to like all Activitiy Names or Desciptions in ALL UPPER CASE simply because it is easier to see.  Is there a way to change the case quickly to all upper case? or Vice Versa.  Just curious....

    Jeff, Easiest way I can think

    Jeff,
    Easiest way I can think of is to export the tasks to excel, add a column at the end & use the =UPPER(A3) formula (where cell A3 is the first task description.
    Copy this formula down for all rows, then re-select and copy this column, go to cell A3 then right click & paste values.
    Re-select the calculated column then clear contents.
    Re-import the excel version of the plan.
    If you are working on a large schedule, make sure that you export the minimum amount of columns to speed up the export / import process.
    You may be able to do this with a global change within Primavera, however not in front of my computer to test.
    Hope this helps
    Steven

    Managed to check & unfortunately this is not one of the string functions available in the global change, so would need to do it through excel.
