Network Diagrams
The network diagrams in Project 2007 use the precedence diagramming method, with tasks
displayed in rectangular boxes and relationships shown by lines connecting the boxes. In
the Network Diagram view, tasks on the critical path are automatically shown in red.
To view the network diagram for the Project Tracking Database project:
1. View the network diagram. Click View on the Menu bar, and then click View
Bar. Click the Network Diagram button on the View Bar or select Network
Diagram from the View menu.
2. Adjust the Network Diagram view. To see more tasks in the Network Diagram
view, double-click the Zoom Out button . You can also use the scroll
bars to see different parts of the network diagram. Figure A-35 shows several
of the tasks in the Project Tracking Database network diagram. Note that
milestone tasks, such as Charter signed, appear as pointed rectangular boxes,
