Hi Karen,
Because Project is a scheduling tool the rest of the information you see in
the line with the project title is calculated by Project and short of
changing the text in those cells white, you cannot hide the information. You
can hide columns (right click and choose Hide Column from the shortcut menu)
and add other columns (right click and choose Insert Column), but Project
will still use those hidden columns for calculations and task scheduling.
For what you describe (and until you have some time to work more indepth
with Project) you may wish to use Excel. It doesn't appear from your stated
needs that you may need all of the power (and complications) of Project right
now.
Hope this helps and best wishes for the holidays to you too! Let us know
how else we can help.
