Milestones and end-dates on the gant chart

[Joe]

I have several milestones with durations on them. I wonder if there is a way
to have them display on the gant chart for the end-date rather than at the
start date?

Hi,

Format
Bar Styles
Look for the milestone line
in the from and to columns, replace start by finish.

Joe,
Yes there is but in my opinion milestones NEVER have duration. They
should only be used to mark the completion of a task or series of tasks.
A milestone marks a point in time.

Nonetheless if you really want to pollute your plan, go to Format/Bar
Styles and change the "from" and "to" column of the bar style definition
for milestones to be "finish" instead of "start".

Sorry, I guess I got a bit carried away.

Try the right mouse button in the Gantt area where your milestones are
located. Select "Bar Style and change "Milestone" to Finish, Finish and then
go to the bottom of the "Bar Style" menu and update Text (to finish) and Bar
(to display Milestone at end). Hope this helps.
