Why is only one letter showing up for the months in my monthly date headings?

I am using Remote Desktop to access my computer at work.  Sometimes my Milestones software is not visible.  I think it's because it is on my secondary monitor.  Is there any way to force it to my primary monitor for Remote Desktop?

I’ve been trying to create a transparent satellite icon to use in my Milestones road map, but I keep running into an issue, every version I create ends up with a white block behind it when II copy it to PowerPoint. Since my road map uses colored swim lanes, the white box really stands out and breaks the visual formatting.

I want to use a table of unique IDs that I have in Excel to update the unique IDs on my Milestones schedule.  How do I do this?

Just wondering.. is there a way to put a picture of my schedule into Microsoft Excel?

I would like to make a legend I can just drag around, but the standard legend options aren't flexible enough for my needs.

I have a huge 60 page very dense schedule.  It's very slow.  What can I do to speed up the screen refreshing?
