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.

One of my Project Managers just asked me a question I couldn't answer.

:-o

You can imagine my acute embarassment and changrin. The very thought of being less knowledgable than a PM makes me shudder, so any help would be much appreciated.

Why does MS Project have the option of displaying thirds of months on the timeline? You can display Beginning/Middle/End (BME) of a calendar month.

Who reports in this manner? Why would you need to see this?

Has anybody heard of this before?

In the final selection for the schedule printout, MSP will select the timescale for best fit on the full page.  The scale selected for viewing really depends on the size screen you have to view it when you select "view entire project".
