Any way to change which symbols appear in the legend?

[Colin Higbie]

When I print a project, the legend shows:

task, split, progress, milestone, summary, project summary, external tasks,
external milestone, and deadline

Is there any way to change or replace these? Specifically, I want to show a
Report, which is like a green milestone icon.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Colin

Colin,
The legend symbols you see are associated with the particular view you
are printing. To change the symbols, select or create a new view that
has the symbols you want to show. This may be a custom view you create
for printing only. You can read more about creating custom views and
barstyles in the help file.

Hope this helps.

I knew how to change the symbols as they appear in the Gantt chart, but I
had not been able to change the legend. I think the other feedback here may
help. I'll try and report back.

Colin,
To change the legend, change the "Name" field of the symbol in the Bar Style
dialog box.
If you want to hide a bar style in the legend while keeping the symbol in
the Gantt Chart, add an "*" as the first character of this "*Name"
