SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Microsoft Project, when you format a text style in the PERT chart with
underline formatting, the underline does not appear for all text in the
PERT node.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
In the PERT chart, space in the four lower fields in a node is limited. If
you define the text style using a large fixed-pitch font, such as Windows
Courier New TrueType, there may not be room in these fields to display an
underline below the font.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To view underline formatting applied to text styles in the PERT chart, use
a font that displays an underline format very close to the bottom of the
font. For example, you do not have this problem if you format text styles
in the PERT chart using the TrueType Arial font.
 
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
 
1. In a new project, enter three tasks, T1, T2, and T3.
 
2. From the View menu, choose PERT Chart.
 
3. From the Format menu, choose Text Styles. From the Item To Change list,
   select All. From the Font list, select Courier New, and from the Size
   list, select 12. Select the Underline check box and choose OK.
 
Note that only the task name in the first field is underlined in the
task node.
