Default How to resize timescale in Gantt chart

figure out what I am doing wrong.


Did it work, not sure from what you are saying. You will have to do one at a time. The
shapes are just individual shapes, not columns, it's not a spreadsheet.


Note: The Print Zoom option affects the entire timeline (even the
non-timescale columns) and that is not acceptable for my purposes. thanks for
the idea though.

To select the timescale as a column, (in Visio 2003), simply select any
header cell in the timescale portion of the Gantt chart, then click the cell
again until the column handles show up (the corners should be BROWN). You now
have the entire column selected and may change the width as you wish without
affected the sizes of other columns.


Ah, not what I thought you meant by the timescale portion. I assumed you meant the
month/day display section. I think you mean the Task Name, Start and Finish columns.
Yes, very different.
