SYMPTOMS
When you enter notes at the Summary Task level in a Microsoft Project
4.0 file and then open the file in Microsoft Project 4.1, the notes appear
as a continuous string separated by vertical bar (|) characters instead of
carriage returns.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you enter notes at the Summary Task level and the
notes are in list format.
WORKAROUND
Method 1: Delete the vertical bar characters and add paragraph returns
To correct the notes, position the insertion point before the vertical bar,
delete it, and then press
ENTER. The text after the insertion point moves to the next line. Repeat this process until you have removed all of the vertical bars.
Method 2: Use the Copy and Paste commands to restore the list format
- Select the notes.
- On the Edit menu, click Cut.
- Start Microsoft Word.
- In the default document, click Paste on the Edit menu.
The text is pasted without the vertical bars.
- Select the text, and then click Copy on the Edit
menu.
- Switch to Microsoft Project.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste.
