I have been asked by a program manager how total slack is calculated on
summary bars using Project 2003. I've looked thru Project books but don't
see the answer anywhere.

Betsy,
Like its subordinate elementary tasks, the total slack of a summary is the
amount of time the summary can drift without postponing the finish date of
the project.

From: Jack Dahlgren on
The calculation for slack is:

Total Slack = Late Finish - Early Finish

which is exactly the same as what G�rard said in words.
