Answer
If the appearance of a task is not changed after applying customizations made in the “Text Styles” dialog, it is because that task was already changed by using the “Font Control” option. Changes made to the style of a task by using “Font Control” options will not be overridden when applying a style from the “Text Styles” dialog.

Answer
The font style of tasks or resources can be changed either by using the “Text Styles” option from the “Format” menu or the “Font control” option from the “Task” menu. By using the “Text Styles” option, the style for a category of tasks (summary, milestones, etc.) or resources (highlighted, overallocated) can be changed at the same time. By using the “Font control” option, the changes will be applied only to the selected task or resource from the grid.

Answer
Everyone trying to open the file while you are already working on it will have to open the file in read-only mode or try again later. Until you close the project or open a different one, the file will be locked for editing so no one else can overwrite your work, regardless of the application they use.

If somebody has already opened the project file in your local network either in Project Plan 365 for PC / Server, or in Microsoft Project, you will be informed that the file is in use and locked for editing and you will be offered the possibility of opening it in read-only mode. This means that you can make changes to the project, but cannot overwrite the original file and will have to save a copy instead.
