Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi everyone, i have the follow cases in my project.

What version of MS Project are you using?  The indention problem was a bug in MSP 2003.  I might suggest that you make sure that you have all of the updates for the version of MS Project that you are working with. The indention should work for you.

I am not sure about what you are looking for regarding the first activity but you might consider using a hammock task at the beginning of a section or work or summary grouping.  This is a task that does not carry relationships and can be used to carry costs or resources that apply to an entire section. 

If I am understanding this wrong, please clarify.
