 In this training video we're going to look at linking text boxes to task within Microsoft project so I've selected a task task 14 on the format tab we can use a text box under the drawing sections of the ribbon and I can use a text box and I can now draw a text box I can say for example induction must include my jar induction must include I'll just put welcome pack presentation so extend the text box a little bit now the text box has the information that I now want I'm going to right click it and the font I can now change the font size if I wanted to on the color so I'll just make it different color blue and you can also do other things on the right click another one is properties so this is the big one so font properties now in the properties I can put a fill against it if I wanted to custom a different color against it so to the preview here now you can also link it because if the tasks move around center this task was constraint and we move it on a bit you want a task box to go with the task if it moves so I want to go to the size and position and I want to touch it and attach it to the you can go front point or back point I've got the back point and I want to touch it to task 14 which is the HR induction I click okay now I can move it around a bit now if I put a constraint against task 14 I'd be wanting this box to move with it now because they need to be joined together I don't the task box just to stay where it is I want it to move with the task so we'll just test this I'll move it on a week of two weeks in this example go the task is due in this example 29th of July I'll move it on a couple weeks so constraint it I just want the date to go in two weeks so here's a 29th of July I'll just go forward one two to the 12th of August click okay we can now see that the task is moving along the constraint applies the text box moves if I give it a longer duration if I set the constraint to December for example okay we can now see the task is moved but also the text box is going with it so you can put little text messages or text boxes against tasks and as the project moves so does the text box or whatever information you want to add to it we can now see how it's working here's the rest of the project task 14 is moving along and yet the the box is still going with it the text box so this completes the training video on adding a text box to a project attaching it to a task and also doing a bit of format into the text box here we did a bit of font coloring and a little bit of background coloring to the text box if you enjoyed this video make sure you like and subscribe to our channel hope to see you for the next tutorial and thanks for watching
