Gantt Chart not showing properly

Something happened with my Gantt that is is showing off to the side and I cannot see the full Gantt.  Please help!

    Drag the split bar to the right edge of the Duration column.  Click the View tab (at the top of Microsoft Project) to display the View ribbon.  In the Zoom section of the View ribbon, click the Timescale pick list button and select the Days item.  Does that help?  Let us know.

    Iamccle,

    If by "off to the side" you mean there is a separation between the tabular data and the Gantt Chart graphic, all you need to do is to place your mouse over the vertical line dividing the two and drag the graphic part back to the left.

     

    However, I notice one other thing about your plan. All performance tasks (i.e. non-summary lines) are manually scheduled. Manual scheduling should only be used during initial development of a plan. Once a plan is complete and ready for execution, all tasks should be auto-scheduled. That allows Project to dynamically schedule the plan. It of course assumes all tasks are linked in a logical sequence of performance.

      I have done a drag all the way to the left and it still will not show.

       

      Understand about the auto-schedule versus the manual.  I will be working on that soon.

        Iamccle,

        I guess I don't understand what is not showing. On the Gantt Chart view there are two slider at the bottom. One for the tabular data and one for the Gantt graphic. Have you tried using the slider for the graphic data
