Adding Columns (and hiding some) in custom views

[zencalc]

So... I'm trying to develop some enterprise-wide views for my company, to hide what we don't care about and see what we do care about. In creating a new View, "A", I chose type "Entry", with no Groups and All Tasks. I want to hide the (worthless)Duration column, and insert the "Work" column and a custom text column on this view... no problem there. But, when I try to save this view to global.mpt, it won't keep my settings of adding the Work column and Text columns, or of hiding duration. I cannot find anything in my literature or experience to help me do this piece. any help or ideas is appreciated.

are you opening the "enterprise" gantt chart" to do this? and then saving it as a new view?

I found a better way by saving my changes to a global.mpt file. Then I only need to dsitribute the file and have everyone start new projects by opening that file first.
