staggering of block intervals

[Amanda Redmond-Neal]

hi, i have a couple of intervals that overlap. visio deals with this by
allowing one to be partially covered by the other. that's no good. surely
there is some way to place the intervals above, rather than on, the timeline
itself, yes? i would like to be able to vary the height where the block
interval appears, like one can do with milestones. now, i know that it's
possible to drag the interval off of the timeline and drop it somewhere else
in space, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using visio, as the now
floating interval is no longer associated with the timeline by the program
(meaning any attempts to "configure interval" are met with a prerequisite to
return the object to the timeline -- ie. to the original, undesired
position). anyone?

I've found this similarly frustrating. You should be able to drag the
interval labels off to avoid text overlap. I'm not aware of a way to drag
the interval itself off the timeline. Perhaps add an expanded timeline and
only show one interval on it?
