| CUSTOMIZE ONE OF
THE BUILT-IN WIZARD FORMATS |
|
Q |
| I have imported a schedule from
Microsoft Office Project
and everything looks great. I am now moving a symbol on
one of the task lines in Milestones. It's at the beginning
of one of the rows. Moving it makes the other symbols on
the row move. Help! |
|
 |
|
| |
|
|
A |
In Milestones 2006, choose the Dependency Mode
option on the Edit menu. This will turn off
dependency mode, making it so that moving a single symbol won't affect
others on a row. In version 2008,
the Dependency Mode check box is on the Dates toolbar. |

| CUSTOMIZE ONE OF
THE BUILT-IN WIZARD FORMATS |
 |
|
Q |
After importing my

customized it and now it is just right. It took me about 2 hours
to get all of the colors, date headings, legend and columns just
perfect. Will I need to repeat this every time? |
| |
|
|
A |
Nope! Just set up a Custom Project Import
Template! Learn More. |
