From: lcVic on 26 Jan 2006 12:02 When I create a new project file from the "blank project" template, my row height is HUGE. I can not change the row height in any way that I can see possible. My font is Arial, size 8. This happened a couple of months ago and I haven't been able to figure it out. I do have Project Server on my network, but it happens regardless of whether or not I use the Project Server features and regardless of whether or not I'm online. There's no good, apparent reason for this. Anyone know what to do? -- - Vic http://www.liquidcognition.com
From: JulieS on 26 Jan 2006 12:50 Hi Vic, Try changing the table set up. View > Tables > More Tables. Select the offending table and click Edit. Can you change the row height in the Table Definition dialog box? You may also be able to change row height by dragging the row header (numbers) up or down. I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along. Julie "lcVic" wrote: > When I create a new project file from the "blank project" template, my row > height is HUGE.

From: "Jan De Messemaeker" <jandemes at prom hyphen ade dot on 26 Jan 2006 12:58 Hi, The culprit may be a bar definition. Format, Bar Styles. First check the column called "Row" and put any number >1 back to 1. Naw (sorry for the extra work) look at each bar definition, at Text, to check whether there are no texts defined above and below the bar. Just a hunch, of course, but since you seem to have checked the obvious.. Or... if this happens in a particular view, through tools, organizer, copy the original version of this view from global.mpt into your project..

From: lcVic on 26 Jan 2006 16:06 I appreciate the timely responses from both you and JulieS. Unfortunatley, neither was a working solution. Changing tables has no effect -- this is some sort of Global setting on all tables. The Row Size is "1" in both the table edit and the Bar Styles. I have even deleted all of the global.mpt files that I could find. When that didn't fix it, I got a global.mpt from a co-worker and replaced mine. That didn't work either. I even clicked the Detect and Repair in Help. They should call that the thousand dollar menu item because that's what it costs to get your machine working again after you click it. I had to start over with Outlook afterwards, and that didn't really impress me. In my simple world, "integration" has to do with things working together. With Microsoft Office, "integration" is a code word for dysfunctional codependence. Did I mention how frustrating it was to lose Outlook over this problem? By the way, I can also NOT manually change row size with the mouse. This isn't the end of the world, I guess, but it is a fairly stupid problem to have.

Hi Vic, Sorry the response didn't work. You mentioned in the original post that this was occurring whether you were connected to Project Server. Does this happen to anyone else? I am just wondering if there is a problem with the Enterprise Global and the table. Sorry, I know very little about Project Server, so this is a shot in the dark.
