How can I rearrange tasks on the gantt chart, such as swap it with the task
directly above or below on the numbered list? Also, how can I delete a task
and shift everything upwards? Copy and past screws up all the predecessors.
I thought these problems had been fixed in MS products when Excel came into
being.

Nevermind, I figured it out. To move things you click the grey area that
numbers the tasks. To delete a task, you select it in that same place and
hit delete.

Yes, but have you found where Project has a cool feature that Excel doesn't?
Project actually lets you hit the Insert button to actually insert a line in
your schedule.

I did notice the insert button, which seems infinitely more useful now that I
figured out how to rearrange tasks. I would like to change the key to make
things a little more left-hand-centric (I glue my right hand to my mouse)...
but I can't find a keyboard shortcut assigner like MS Word has. I should
note that I am used to 2003 and earlier products, using project 2007.

If you don't give up holding onto the mouse so tight, and start using the
keyboard, especially the most useful arrows, home, end, page up, page down,
all of these with the CTRL key and/or Shift key, and especially
CTRL-Z,X,C,V,D, you will never become fast enough to be productive at using
MSP.
