Can I add Custom Shapes for special events?

My management likes to see pictures when looking at schedules. I would like
to add images to my schedule so that they can clearly see when some ships for
example by showing a boat on the ship date instead of a line, star or
triangle.

Hi dbk,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

There's no built-in way to do this. However, if you're prepared to do the
work, Project allows you to Insert/Object... Whatever you insert, the
process allows you to change the icon to whatever you have available. So,
create some ship icons, then insert some tiny file and change the icon to
your ship icon and then attach it to the beginning or end of the task. Post
back if you want more detail.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
