Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Arranging graphical report components, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
- Rearranging the components…in a Graphical Report is simple.…All you have to do is select the ones you want…and drag them to a new location.…Resizing works just like it does in other programs.…Let's do some rearranging in…our custom Project At A Glance report.…Let's say the first thing I'm going to do…is I'm going to move these tables' Late Tasks…and Incomplete Summary Tasks underneath…the Work Overview chart.…
I'm going to scroll down a little bit…so I can see my tables.…What I'm going to do is use control click…to select all four of the components that I want to move.…So I hold down the control key…and then click the text box for the heading…for that first table.…Then I click the table itself,…the next text box and the second table.…Now that I have all four of the elements selected…I can point anywhere on a boundary…and when I click and hold the mouse button down…I see the four-headed arrow…and I can drag those over to the left…and drop them beneath the Work Overview chart.…
The next thing I want to do is move the Work Overview chart…
