Highlight Changed Dates when Refreshing
Is it possible to highlight the milestones which have changed after running a Milestones refresh to update my presentation schedule with dates from Microsoft Project?

Locked Symbols
I have attached a chart that I created in Milestones Professional.   This is a chart that is used for a lot of briefings for the government.  Unfortunately my engineer and I opened it to make some changes and if you try a lot of the bars are locked and I cannot change the links or delete.

Copy a column of text from Milestones to Excel
I’m seeking help on how to export a column of text (Task Names) from Milestones Professional to Microsoft Excel.

Show only the month with the symbol
How can I make the symbol date show only the month?

Move a master schedule
I have moved a master schedule and its slaves to a different folder on my PC. How do I get it to update the links for the slave schedules so that the point to the new folder I’ve moved them too?

Angled symbol text
How can I show some of my text at an angle so I can get more information onto my crowded schedule?

No numbers below DataGraph
I have two data graphs on my chart.  Since my timeline covers about 2 years, the data table associated with the graph is not legible.  I would like to have only the graph with no data table.  From what I can tell, the only options I have are Data Above the Graph or Data Below the Graph.  However, I want to leave out the numbers entirely.

Using substitutable text strings and default symbol text
I’m making a “no-columns” presentation schedule.  Is there an easy way to attach my task names as symbol text?
