It doesn’t appear as a bar, even though it has duration. On the Gantt Chart, the milestone symbol appears on the last day of the task. In the Properties group, click Task Information.Ĭlick the Advanced tab, and then type the milestone duration in the Duration box.Ĭheck Mark task as milestone, and then click OK. Select the milestone, and then click Task. For example, the approval process at the end of a phase might take a week, so that milestone would need to take place over time like a normal task. The milestone symbol is now part of your Gantt Chart. Type 0 in the Duration field, and then press Enter. Type the milestone name in the first empty row or pick a task you want to turn into a milestone. In other words, at different stages of your project you will want to print / show different parts of the plan and the above choices will mean a smaller amount of pages but there is no easy way to minimise the number of pages without compromising on the amount of details.The quickest way to create a milestone is to add a task with no duration to your project plan.Ĭlick View, and then in the Task Views group, click Gantt Chart. Reduce row heights, column widths, font sizes.Print separately current active tasks only (use a filter) using an expanded timescale.

Print a s ummary view only (collapse view of subtasks) over the two years with a compact timescale.

Hide columns that are not necessary on paper e.g.

Print only Levels 1 – 3 (that’s half the number of pages down already).

Print the chart showing only critical tasks, milestones and summary tasks.

Print the task list only without the chart.

It will be hard to print the whole schedule without severe deforestation or cutting down on what you print. Your project runs over two years so the Gantt Chart timescale will create a lot of pages across. You have 300 tasks which means 7 A4 pages down.

How do I print just the Gantt chart in Microsoft Project without it being 50 million pages? I have tried every option possible and so far wasted about eleven trees of A3 paper but I just keep printing blank pages – is there some way to scale it without making it tiny? Could I split it up some way to print it – really tearing my hair out here!!! Any advice appreciated!
