Day	View in days.	Click Day in Project Task Gantt. Note: When a task's duration unit is hours and the Schedule pane is set to the "Day" zoom level, Project Task Gantt does not let you drag the task's start or end date to create a task duration of zero hours. The minimum must always be two hours. We recommend you make your changes with the zoom set to "Day Detail" in the Schedule pane.

Notes: If the current date (Today) is in view when you change the zoom level, Today remains anchored in the same position. The time span display may increase to accommodate the anchored Today position. If Today is not in view when you change the zoom level, the centered date of the current visible date range remains anchored in the same position. The time span display may increase to accommodate the anchored centered date position.
