= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Project, you can apply direct text formatting to the selected cells in a table by choosing Font from the Format menu. If you select an entire column (by clicking the column header for example) and apply direct text formatting, the formatting change will affect all cells in that column (including blank cells and cells that are hidden by the current filter).

When you add new records to the table, these new records inherit the text formatting in that column.

If you want to apply direct text formatting to a column for filtered records only, apply the filter, and then select only the cells you want, (rather than selecting the entire column).

= MORE INFORMATION =

This behavior is different from other operations, such as direct bar formatting (choose Bar from the Format menu) and changes made in the Multiple Task Information box (these changes effect only filtered tasks even when an entire column is selected).
