Show Task Name On Gantt Chart Project 2010
Gantt charts are a great way to visualize the timeline of a project. In Microsoft Project 2010, you can easily create a Gantt chart by entering tasks and their durations. However, by default, the chart only displays the duration of each task, not the name. In this article, we'll show you how to show task names on your Gantt chart in Project 2010.
Step 1: Open Your Project in Project 2010
The first step is to open your project in Project 2010. If you don't have a project yet, you can create one by selecting "New" from the "File" menu. Once you have your project open, you can move on to the next step.

Next, you'll need to select the Gantt Chart view. This can be done by selecting "Gantt Chart" from the "View" menu.

Now that you have the Gantt Chart view selected, it's time to customize it to show task names. To do this, right-click anywhere on the Gantt Chart and select "Bar Styles" from the context menu.
Step 4: Add Task Name to the Gantt Chart
In the Bar Styles dialog box, select the "Task Name" row and click the "Text" button. This will open the Text Styles dialog box. In this dialog box, select the "Show" checkbox and then click "OK" to close both dialog boxes.
Step 5: Save Your Changes
Finally, you'll need to save your changes to the Gantt Chart. To do this, simply click "OK" in the Bar Styles dialog box. Your Gantt Chart will now display task names along with their durations.
