Missing box in outline symbol

[marekxpolak]

Dear All,

I'm facing rather annoying issue in MS Project.
Whenever I indent the task it shows "+" and "-" symbols to expand or collapse the list.
This is quite obvious.
Problem is, that hollow box that usually is around + and - is not showing.
It happens whnenever I open existing project or create new one.
I have upgraded from 2003 to 2007 and even completly reinstalled MS Project to no avail.
Did anyone faced similar issue?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Follow the below steps mention.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Select the Outline symbols check box.
4. If the symbols still aren't visible or readable, use the Zoom box on the Standard toolbar to change the magnification to 100%.

Hi Chroma,
Thank you for your advice, unfortunatelly it didn't work.

However....
I've managed to figure out what caused the problem.
Windows Desktop color scheme.
When set to Silver box around + and - symbols dissapears, where it does show when Default (Blue) or Olive is selected.
Setting responsible for shopwing (or not showing) box around outline symbols is "Inactive Title Bar" colour under Advanced button, where in Silver scheme this is white.
Once I changed this to shade of gray (or any other colour) box magically appeared.

Thats correct, couldn't think of the silly thing before. But anyways, glad that you made it...
