Microsoft Project Add In

Where can I find the Microsoft Project Add-in for Milestones?

Reset startup choices

I’ve inadvertently ‘switched off’ the File Open Dialogue Window (the one where I can select from the various files I’ve worked on).  When I now open MSPro, it directly opens the default template file instead of opening the File Open Dialogue Window.  Please advise on how to reactivate. 

Bars not lining up

Below attached can you please advise how to align the bars properly and alos text on the bars are not vertically middle.

Toolbar bottom is cut off

The top RIbbon where File, Connections, Edit, Dates Insert, Layout format tabs are goes missing periodically.. How do I ensure that these items are not hidden?

 

Attach a date heading to a task row

Other than adding a text note, is there a method to add a custom date format as Q4FY25 or QTR4FY25 to either milestones or task bars?
