Gantt Chart Bar Height

If you need to make the bars taller than 24 pixels high in Microsoft project, you don’t really have much of a choice, it would seem.

You are presented with a drop-down list, and the tallest selection available is 24.  So, how do you make one bigger so that you can make it stand out from the rest or fill the page for a presentation?

Well, depending upon what you’re trying to do there are a few workarounds:

You could make another bar on the next row, and butt the two of them together through the Format -> Bar Styles dialog.

Then again, if you’re just trying to make the whole thing look bigger when you print it out, the Page Setup functionality will let you scale the whole thing up to fill the page.
