To add progress to a task in your project directly from the Gantt Chart, follow the steps below:

1. Locate in the right side chart of a Gantt view its corresponding taskbar.
2. Place the mouse to the start portion of the taskbar, when you will notice that the mouse indicator changes to a specific icon.
3. To indicate progress for a task, hold down the mouse and drag to the right the gray displayed bar inside the task bar to increase the value for the % complete field.
4. Release the mouse when you are satisfied with the entered progress.
5. The % complete corresponding to the task is represented by a darker and thinner bar inside the bar of the task.

The Font and the Text Style functionalities serve different purposes, as presented below:

1. Text Style: Use this functionality to format all tasks or resources in a particular category, such as summary tasks, critical tasks, over allocated resources, column titles, the timescale, and bar text on the Gantt Chart.
2. Font: The Font command affects only the task you select.

Note: Individual text formatting overrides formatting applied using the Text Styles command. For example, if you use the Text Styles command to format all noncritical tasks as regular 8-point, you can use the Font command to format a selected noncritical task as 10-point italic.

To change a view in Split Window, follow the steps below:

1. Click anywhere in the top or bottom view.
2. On the View Bar, click the view that you want to appear in the bottom pane.
3. If you want to use a view that is not on the View Bar, click on More Views button, select the view and press on Apply button.

Example: When you select any task in the top view and the Resource Usage view is in the bottom pane, the bottom pane shows the resources assigned to the tasks selected in the top pane, along with information about those resources. The resource information shown pertains to all assigned tasks for each resource, not just to the tasks selected in the top pane..

In order to remove the text from your task bars/critical task bars, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Project menu – Critical Path;
2. Go to the Format menu – Bar Styles;
3. Scroll into the list and click on “Critical Path” name text;
4. Click on “Text” tab and remove “Resource Names”;
5. Click on “Task” field from the list and go again to “Text” tab and remove “Resource Names”;
6. Click on “Milestone” field from the list and go again to “Text” tab and remove “Finish”.
7. Click on “OK” button inside the “Bar Styles” dialog for changes to take effect.
