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.

NOTE: To locate the In front of task bars option, click Timescale on the Format menu, and then click the Nonworking Time tab.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, turn off the In front of task bars option. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Format menu, click Timescale.
  2. Click the Nonworking Time tab.
  3. Under Date, click to clear the In front of task bars option.
  4. Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
