I opened an existing Microsoft Project file today and was unable to expand/collapse the subtasks use the cursor and the '+/-' signs beside the parent tasks.
I am able to expand and collapse using the 'View->Outline' ribbon icon. However when I attempt to do this using the mouse on specific tasks, my cursor will not perform the task. My cursor is a 'white cross' when I need it to be an 'arrow'.
I'm assuming this is something minor that I'm missing. Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks

As with the previous post, closing and re-opening fixed the problem. One note is for the project in question, a previous editor had saved it with a filter on the resource names, so that when I opened it that filter was still in place. After removing the filter the +/- to expand/collapse tasks did not work. I saved the project without the filter, then closed/reopened and all worked normally.
