Unable to change task row heights
I am unable to adjust row height by dragging with the mouse anymore. This problem just appeared and occurs in every milestones file.

Comment symbols
How are Milestones’ Comment symbols generally used in a schedule?

Copy a legend from one schedule to another
I have a perfect legend on one of my schedules. Now I want to copy it to another schedule.

DataGraph on last page only
Is it possible to print the DataGraph only on the last page, as opposed to every page?

Two end date columns
I would like to show two end dates and have the dates appear in the End Date SmartColumn. Right now when I have two End Date SmartColumns if I change one the other one gets updated. One of the date columns will show Expected Completion Date ECD and the other will show Due Date.

Unhide the Legend
I hid the legend and now I need to put it back on the schedule. After I hide the legend, how do I get it to reappear?

Use a bitmap graphic as a symbol
I have an image bitmap of a company symbol that I would like to use as a Milestones symbol. How can I do this?

Use only certain Microsoft Project tasks on a Milestones Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)
Is it possible to only use certain pieces within an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) file to be viewed in a Milestone Professional template?

Vertical link to a symbol on the same task bar
Do you know how you can link to task within the same task bar? I would like to create a vertical link between two symbols on the same row.
