September 2023 Tips and Tricks

Trouble Refreshing or Importing from Project
The connection to Project seems to be broken.  I am unable to refresh or import any Project schedules into Milestones.

Microsoft Project files close when using a refresh list
Milestones is closing Microsoft Project files when I refresh from Project Server with a refresh list.  Can we have an option to not close the files when using a refresh list?

Sideways text
I want to show a title to the left of my schedule.    Is this possible in Milestones?

Only page 1 available when copying to clipboard
Whenever I use the Copy Schedule to Clipboard (OLE) function it only copies page 1, even if I move to pages 2 or 3.  Is this a defect?

Override legend colors
I used the color override option for some connectors and symbols placed on my schedule. How can I define those in the legend, using the same color override?

Percent complete pie color
When using the Percent Complete SmartColumn, how do you change the color of the pie chart that appears?

Picture disappears
I added a picture to my schedule.  However, as soon as I add the picture it disappears before I have a chance to re-size it.

Print an extra large schedule
My schedule’s page size is set to 24 inches wide by 8.5 inches high.  I would like to print it in sections on my laser printer and later tape them together to build a large schedule.
