Microsoft Project Import Q&A


MOVING A MILESTONES SCHEDULE TO PROJECT
Q I want to take a schedule I have in Milestones Professional and share it with someone who has Microsoft Project.  Is there a better way than MPX?
   
A Yes, there is now a direct export to Microsoft Office Project in both Milestones Professional and Milestones Project Companion.  Learn more.
 

 
IMPORT MS PROJECT SERVER ENTERPRISE FIELDS
Q I want to import Enterprise fields from Microsoft Office Project server.  Is this possible?
   
A Yes, with a little tweaking on the Microsoft Office Project side.  Learn more.
 

 
WHICH VERSIONS OF MS PROJECT ARE SUPPORTED BY KIDASA's MILESTONES SOFTWARE?
Q
I have Project 2003.  Is it supported by Milestones Professional and Milestones Project Companion?  

A

MS Project Versions 2003 and later are supported.  As of this writing, the current version of Microsoft Office Project is version 2007. 
 

 
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 Microsoft Office Project schedule, I have 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.
 

 
ADD AN MS PROJECT FIELD TO A MILESTONE CHART
Q Is it possible to add an Microsoft Office Project field to a Milestone chart?  I have already put a lot of work into my Milestones chart and would like to avoid having to re-do everything.
   
A Yes. Learn how.
 

 
BUILD AND UPDATE A PRESENTATION SCHEDULE USING PROJECT SERVER
Q Can I build a master presentation schedule and refresh it periodically with dates from a group of schedules which are kept up-to-date and stored on Microsoft Office Project Server?
   
A Yes. Learn how  Watch a movie
 

 
UPDATE AUTOMATION TAGS IN PROJECT COMPANION
Q I am using Milestones Project Companion.  I am not able to change the symbol automation tags.  Is there a way to do this?
   
A Yes. Learn how 
 

 
START+FINISH DATES NEEDED FOR 1 DAY TASKS
 
Q When importing tasks which are one day in duration, only a milestone symbol is placed.  There is no finish symbol as I desire. 
   
A This issue has been addressed in a recent update.  If you are a Version 2006 user, download the latest update for Milestones Professional 2006 or Milestones Project Companion 2006.

Version 2008 users do not need do download an update.
