Default Height Gant Chart Task bar

Hi,

Is there a way to change the default height of the task bar used in a Gantt
chart? I can change the height of the 'row' with the task name, start and
stop date etc. but the corresponding bar in the timeline does not change
height.

I'm using Visio Professional 2003 SP2.

Thanks,

Click on the page background so no shape is selected and
menu Shape - Custom Properties
and change the Normal Task Bar Height to suit.

Hi Paul, thx for the quick reply.

I get a "No custom properties exist" pop-up. If I try to "create custom
properties" I do (logically?) not see the 'Normal Task Bar Height'.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hans

You are doing this on a diagram with a Gantt chart?

Hi Paul, actually I added the Gantt chart in an existing Timeline sheet.

You're question triggered me to create a new file (Gantt chart metric) and
there I do find the Normal Task Bar Height property. So I copy/pasted the
chart I made in this new sheet and everything works fine.

No idea why it doesn't work in the other file, but I can continue anyway.

Thanks again

The problem is that a Gantt chart shape isn't really allowed on a
timeline chart page. Creating a Gantt chart diagram adds certain
custom properties to the page, just adding a Gantt chart fram to a
page doesn't seem to add these properties.
