Draw a bar across a single day
When adding a task bar to the schedule, the start and end symbols are automatically placed in the middle of the day (visually). Is there a way to have the task bar’s endpoints positioned at the very beginning and very end of the day segments, respectively?

Trouble Refreshing or Importing from Project
When I run refresh, there are no updates to my schedule even though I know my Microsoft Project schedule has changed.

Turn off collapse/expand indicators
I would like to turn off the red triangles which appear in my first column to the left of the schedule area.  How can I do this?

Freeze the date headings and left column
I have a large schedule that I need to easily scroll through while viewing the columns at the same time.  What are my options?

Inactive Microsoft Project tasks
I have tasks marked Inactive in Microsoft Project.  When refreshing, I would like to be able to identify any symbols on my Milestones schedule which are linked to tasks which are inactive.  How is this accomplished?

Suggested symbols and bars for “Birds on a Wire” charts
I like the “Birds on a Wire” charts I have seen made in PowerPoint.  I know these are easier in Milestones. Can you give me a clue how to make mine look like this with Milestones (sample made in PowerPoint)?

Multi-Undo is off warning
On some of my schedules I get this warning.  Why is this undo off and how can I turn it back on?

Lines drawn don’t move
I am using lines to separate the rows on my schedule.  However, they aren’t moving when I move task rows or insert new ones.

Toolbar bottom is cut off
My symbol tabs are missing when I select a symbol to modify.  I tried rebooting to no avail. Please advise.
