Wizard cut off at bottom
I am using my laptop which has a resolution of 1600 by 900. When using the Setup Wizard, the screen is cut off at the bottom. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Different chart titles on each page
How can I add a different title to each schedule page?

Custom stoplight column
We would like to create a SmartColumn using a column (Number4) from Microsoft Project using the following user-defined values ranges to display values, symbols, text and colors.

Symbol text too far away from symbol
My symbol text is spaced too far away (vertically) from my bar.

Flag tasks that are nearing completion
How can I display symbols to indicate which tasks are, for example, 50%, 75%, 90% complete? I want to show which tasks are complete, which ones haven’t started and so on.

Hide a column
I have a symbol count column on my schedule I need, but I don’t want it to be seen all the time. Can I “hide” the column?

Start every schedule with the same toolbox
I have spent a lot of time working on my perfect toolbox. How can I have all my schedules start up with this same Toolbox?

Excel import is interpreting multiple lines as one long line
I am importing a simple Excel spreadsheet. My first row and second row are being imported as one long string of text. Any idea what’s causing the problem?
