SUMMARY
By default, Project shows a contiguous bar for a task even through an interrupted period. An interrupted period, by definition, is the period between when a task stops working and when it resumes at a later date.

You can show a scheduled interruption on a Gantt Chart bar. If, for example, you have a task with a two-day duration that is 50 percent complete and a Gantt bar that is covering a whole year, you can create a bar to show the scheduled interruption.

Steps to Change the Palette to Show Scheduled Interruptions
In Project 4.x


 * 1) From the Format menu, select Bar Styles.
 * 2) Scroll down the list of bars and select the first blank row.
 * 3) In the Name field, enter Stop/Resume.
 * 4) In the Appearance column, select the same bar thickness to the default task bar and choose the White Color.
 * 5) In the Show For column, type Normal.
 * 6) In the Row column, leave the default number one.
 * 7) In the From Column, type Stop.
 * 8) In the To Column, type Resume.
 * 9) Click OK.

In Project 3.x


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Palette.
 * 2) In the Bar Name, type Stop/Resume.
 * 3) In the Sample column, select the same bar thickness to the default critical/non-critical bar and choose the White Color.
 * 4) In the Show For column, type Normal.
 * 5) In the From column, type Stop.
 * 6) In the To column, type Resume . Choose the OK button.
