For these and more, view Tips and Tricks for August 2022 

Change the color of horizontal bars
I need to change the color of horizontal bars on my schedule.  How do I change the color of all bars of a certain type?  How about if I just want to change an individual bar.  Is this possible?

Earned Value with Milestones
How does Milestones Professional display the graph which indicates earned value elements, such as ACWP, BCWP, and BCWS?

Activity count
Is there an activity count somewhere, tracking milestones and/or discrete activities added to the schedule?

Shade multiple rows at one time
Can you tell me if there is a trick to shading multiple rows?  I usually end up shading row by row.

Get rid of gridlines in your schedule
How do I hide the lines below an individual task row?

Graph a field not listed in the Project to Milestones wizard
I am bringing my Microsoft Project schedule into Milestones Professional.  I want to graph a custom field I have in Project which is not listed on the DataGraph screens in the wizard.  Is this possible?

Only part of schedule appears in PowerPoint
I used the Copy All Pages to PowerPoint feature to get my schedule into PowerPoint.  Only part of each page of the schedule appears in PowerPoint.  Any ideas?
