Allocate manpower for an upcoming project

Can I hide a column so it doesn't print?
How can one use baseline task bars for sub-tasks but not display them at the summary level?
Hyperlink from a symbol to a folder
I know that you can link a symbol to another file, but can you link a symbol to a folder?
Hyperlinks transfer from sub-schedules to master schedule
If a hyperlink is established in a sub-schedule, will it still appear when the sub-schedule is merged into the master schedule? What about creating a hyperlink to the same schedule in which the hyperlink exists?
I don't want to show a legend on the bottom of each page. Is there a way to make that space disappear so I can use that space for more task lines per page?
Generate schedules from a database
My company maintains a database of schedule information. Is it possible to use that database to generate schedules using Milestones?
If I password-protect a schedule, will others be able to "link" into my schedule even though they may be read-only? I'm going to be starting a "prime" schedule that has dates that other schedules within the area will be getting dates from. I want to password-protect this schedule from any changes all the while allowing folks to link into it. Will they be able to link?

How do I hide the lines below an individual task row?
