Select all milestones at once

[San44]

Hello,
I am creating a timeline using Visio 2007. I have exported an microsoft
project file to create the timeline. I created a lot of milestones. I want to
rotate all the milestone text to the vertical position. Is there a way to
select all milestones at once and rotate their text to vertical? Also when I
rotate the to vertical the date and the milestone description are dispayed on
each other; is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you so much!

You can multi-select all of the shapes by selecting the first, and then
holding down the Shift key while you select each of the others.

Or you can turn on the option to "Select shapes partially within area",
found under Tools > Options > General Tab. This allows you to include
items by drawing a selection box that simply touches the desired shapes.
So you can capture an area where the milestones 'stick out' of the timeline
that they are connected to , but not capture the timeline itself. This is
a nice selection option, but can also be frustrating, so you may want to
turn it off again when you have finished changing the milestones.
