= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Project, when you view a project in the Calendar view, subtasks in the project that are collapsed are not displayed.

Additionally, when you print a task report, subtasks in the project that are collapsed do not display in print preview or on the printed report.

= WORKAROUND =

To display subtasks in the Calendar view or in a task report, do the following:


 * Before you display the project in the Calendar view or print a task report, make sure your outline is expanded so that all subtasks are displayed.

If you are in a view that doesn’t allow outlining (such as a PERT Chart view), choose Gantt Chart from the View menu (or choose another view in which you can use the Outline buttons) and choose the Show All Tasks button from the Formatting toolbar to display all subtasks. You can then view all tasks in your project in Calendar view and you can print all tasks in a task report.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Microsoft Project, you cannot expand or collapse summary tasks in some views of your project. Normally, when you display your project in a view where this option is not available, all of your tasks are displayed, even if they are collapsed (because there is no way to expand the outline). However, the Calendar view is an exception to this behavior; collapsed tasks are not displayed and you cannot expand or collapse your summary tasks in this view.

A task report is another exception to this behavior: any collapsed tasks are not displayed or printed, even if you print the report from a view that displays the collapsed tasks.
