In Project 2010 it is possible to change the duration of a summary task (this was not possible in earlier versions). So if a summary task is 6 days as task 1, 2 & 3 are 2 days and in a sequence then you can change the 6 days to 1 days BUT ask yourself does it make sense. Project 2010 changes the summary task to a Manually scheduled task - you can also switch it back to Auto to get the true duration
