Sincerely, Andy Jessop CEO and Founder andyj@projectlearning.net  Hints & Tips 7:  How to split a view in Microsoft Project Splitting pane views in Microsoft Project  In Microsoft Project, more than one view can be displayed simultaneously. For example, within Microsoft Project 2010 a Timeline view can be displayed in conjunction with a Gantt Chart view, or in both versions a Task Form view can be displayed horizontally within a split pane view below or above the default Gantt view. In the example we provide on our Project Learning Blog, we show you how to display a Task Form and Gantt Chart combination - in both 2003/2007 and 2010 versions of Microsoft Project.
