When defining your task list and its hierarchy, i like to do this in a bullet list in word as you don’t get distracted with predecessors, durations and other complications.
The other benefit is that when you paste a bulleted list from Word, it retains the hierarchy

Nice article Preveen. I look forward to viewing your others as well. I wish I knew how to associate different project calendars to tasks. The nature of what I am scheduling includes contractors who do not have the same work schedule. While the default project calendar is the standard work week, you can associate different calendars to different tasks.

Nice tips. It would be useful to have something similar for setting up printing out a schedule. This has always been a very daunting part of using MS Project.
