Mike,

Presumably this is within a larger chapter about Projects, and this will work in the index as well...
Projects: Adding and Removing Users

If it fits the context, this may work for you. And I'm definitely with you on having to have both to and from in there or implied, in a longer version.

Best regards,
Ant

I am writing a combo procedure that describes how to add and remove a user from a project. Even though I am notoriously flexible about grammar, I still cannot bring myself to title the procedure "Add or remove a user to a project" or Add or remove a user from a project." This appears to be a bug in the English language :-)

What would you call this combo procedure? Does anybody have an elegant way to resolve the preposition problem? (To vs. From)
