"Find in Files" to Search for your Milestones Schedules
Find in Files
If you have trouble locating a certain schedule, but you don't know what the filename is (or where it is located on your computer) the "Find in Files" function in Milestones Professional 2012 might prove very useful.

You can simply enter a phrase that appears anywhere in the schedule, and the "Find in Files" function will search each schedule inside any given folder or drive (optionally included subfolders).

This is great for users who manage a lot of different schedules with similar filenames and need to find a certain schedule, without spending the time to open each one individually and scan through it.

Need vertical connector to center on bar

Question: I need to connect a symbol from one row to the center of a bar on another row. It looks like vertical connectors only go from symbol to symbol. Is there any way to show the connector hitting the middle of a bar?

Symbols above the bar

Question: I am trying to show symbols above a bar, like this example. Can you tell me what the trick is?

Frequency of use by toolbox symbol

Question: Is there a way to get a summary of how many times each toolbox symbol has been used? I need to identify which symbols in the toolbox have been used the least.

Symbol text too far away from symbol on really wide schedule

Question: I have noticed that my symbol text is very far away from my symbols when I make my schedule an odd size (like 62 wide by 11 tall). Is there any kind of adjustment I can make, or do I need to "fudge it"?

Show dates in French

Question: I want to show my schedule dates in French. Is this possible?

Move one symbol only

Question: When I move one symbol on my schedule, other symbols are moving too. Help! I only want to move one symbol.

Change symbol date format

Question: My computer is set up for English and with United States settings. However, I want to make the dates on my schedule reflect a date order used by my customers. Instead of mm/dd/yy, I would like to use dd/mm/yy. Is this possible?
