Hi Christian, thanks for your Ms Project users input. I am wondering and trying to figure out how to use baselines in timeline. Regrettably I could not find answer to it. If you are aware how to use this solution please let us know in any of your videos. Cheers.

Hi. I sometimes produce Timelines to support project proposals. However, rather than showing dates on the project timescale, I would only like to show month or week numbers i.e. M1, M2, M3 etc. Is this possible within the Timeline?

How can the full text be displayed on the timeline? I have a short task and the full text is not showing.

Very grateful for your videos Christian. I'm a project novice. My Gantt chart keeps "disappearing" and I don't know how to re display it. I use " view Gantt chart tab"... but I still can't see anything ! 😕

hey there, I do change the status date and mark tasks as 100% completed. However, it doesn't appear on my timeline as progressed( dark blue color). Is it because I am using MS Project 2013?
