Tag a column that contains fill color overrides

Could you explain the purpose of the "or Column tag of Override Fill Color" feature in the Symbol Properties>Size/Color/Summary menu, and how to use this feature? I'm unable to find any information on it in either the User Manual.

Task row height adjustment

How can I adjust the height of a task row? How do I reset the height to its original setting?

Switch-to views for fast date switching

Can I easily switch to another time period?

Set percent complete from several tasks (on one row)

We have a Milestones Professional plan linked to Microsoft Project. Is it possible to show the % complete from Microsoft Project if there is more than one bar per row? I have read various documents in the Knowledgebase but haven't seen any document that indicates whether this is possible.

Remove page breaks

How do I get rid of my page breaks so that Milestones just puts the same number of tasks on each page?

Need larger toolbox

Is there a way to increase the size of the tool box? it is too small to see what symbols I need to use. I'm using a very high res monitor.
