Follow these simple steps:

1. Let's start by opening your Microsoft Project file and navigating to the 'Gantt Chart Format' tab in the ribbon menu.
2. Now, click on the 'Format' tab in the ribbon, and look for the 'Bar Styles' section. Check the box labeled 'Critical Tasks' to highlight your project's critical path.
3. Your critical tasks now appear in red, while non-critical tasks remain blue. This visual distinction helps you quickly identify which tasks directly impact your project completion date.
