SYMPTOMS

When you print or preview a Microsoft Project file, the bar text on the Gantt chart does not appear or appears incorrectly for the last task in the project if the In front of task bars option is selected. For example, if you specify that the start date should appear to the left of the task bar, and then print or preview the file, the start date does not appear next to the last task in the project.

  2. Click the Nonworking Time tab.
  3. Under Date, click to clear the In front of task bars option.
  4. Click OK.
