How to Track and Report Multiple Projects - A Case Study

Many of our customers are using Milestones Professional to manage multiple projects from a single chart/schedule.

One user, who works for a large enterprise software company, recently created a dashboard schedule to track and report consulting work for his assigned customer account. 

Read why he chose Milestones and how he set up his schedule to accomplish several goals.  You too can create the perfect project dashboard to dazzle your customers!



December 2011 Tips and Tricks (Click the question title for the complete answer!)
Change all symbols of one type to another
Question: I changed my mind about which symbol I want to use for a start symbol.  Can I change them all at once or do I need to change them one at a time on my schedule?

Hide calendar icons
Question: All of my date columns display small calendar icons.  Is there a way to remove these?
Excel import is interpreting multiple lines as one long line
Question:  I am importing a simple Excel spreadsheet.  My first row and second row are being brought in as one long string of text.  Any idea what's causing the problem?
Track deliveries
Question:  I have a schedule I am importing from Microsoft Project. Each time we do a delivery we have a task in Microsoft Project which has the word delivery. I would like to create a schedule which displays the delivery dates and also shows the total number of deliveries per month. Is anything like this possible?
Eliminate gray bars in Roadmap import format
Question: I have just imported from Microsoft Projecct using the Roadmap format.  Can you tell me how to eliminate the gray bars in the resulting Milestones Professional file?
Only part of the schedule appears in PowerPoint
Question: I used the Copy All Pages to PowerPoint feature to get my schedule into PowerPoint.  Only part of each page of the schedule appears in PowerPoint.  Any ideas?
None of my symbol text appears
Question:  None of my symbol text appears.  In the toolbox, I choose a text position as usual but still the text does not appear.
