Remove question marks from obsolete tasks

Question:     

I chose the option to highlight obsolete symbols when I refreshed my schedule from Microsoft Project. Now all of the obsolete symbols have been replaced with question marks.  What's the easiest way to address this problem?

 

Answer:

An easy fix is to change the question mark symbol in the toolbox to a blank, or null symbol.  

Just double-click the question mark symbol and change the symbol shape to shape # 28.
