Hey Joe, you have a lot of questions there but I’ll provide a bit to start. As you may have found out, MS Project levels resources…not tasks; so leveling specific tasks can be a challenge. I could ask why but I’ll assume you have a reason. First thing is that MS Project only levels open projects so if you want to level some projects but not others than don’t open them. The leveling options do provide for a single date range but not what you are looking for. You can also level one resource at a time if that helps.
The only other option(s) I can direct you to (using Project 2010) is the Task Inspector or the Team Planner view. These can provide a better single hit option than the leveling feature. Hope that helps…
