MS Project 2007 Gantt Bar Text Position Issue

MS Project 2007 Gantt Bar Text Position Issue

MS Project 2007 Gantt Bar Text Position Issue

(OP)
I have start dates that go back as far as 2006 and end dates that go beyond five months from 2010. I am trying to print information I've typed using text boxes over the bars for each task, but this 2007 version jumbles the text to not align within the task bar. I've also tried adding bar text but this only prints inside on the far left of the bar. Therefore, when I go to print within a specified date range it does not show the text because it is too far left (at beginning of bar). Is there a way to place text within the task bar so that when I print, the text is shown within specified dates I want printed. Any help on this will be appreciated - Thank you!

RE: MS Project 2007 Gantt Bar Text Position Issue

My suggestion - is to add a notes column and place it beside the bar in bar formatting.  

Project is limited to what it can display on the printable area... since this is supposed to be a concise way of showing your project flow.

ALSO:  Text boxes are a nightmare on the gantt chart.  I tend to avoid them at all costs.
