Tips & Tricks for April 2025

(Click the question title for the answer)

When adding a task bar to the schedule, the start and end symbols are automatically placed in the middle of the day (visually). Is there a way to have the task bar's endpoints positioned at the very beginning and very end of the day segments, respectively?

When I run refresh, there are no updates to my schedule even though I know my Microsoft Project schedule has changed.

I would like to turn off the red triangles which appear in my first column to the left of the schedule area.  How can I do this?

I have a large schedule that I need to easily scroll through while viewing the columns at the same time.  What are my options?

I have tasks marked Inactive in Microsoft Project.  When refreshing, I would like to be able to identify any symbols on my Milestones schedule which are linked to tasks which are inactive.  How is this accomplished?

I like the "Birds on a Wire" charts I have seen made in PowerPoint.  I know these are easier in Milestones. Can you give me a clue how to make mine look like this with Milestones (sample made in PowerPoint)?

On some of my schedules I get this warning.  Why is this undo off and how can I turn it back on?

 

I am using lines to separate the rows on my schedule.  However, they aren't moving when I move task rows or insert new ones.

 

My symbol tabs are missing when I select a symbol to modify.  I tried rebooting to no advail  Please advise.
