Cylindrical Timeline shape

[flickman]

Folks, do you know of a way that I can modify the Cylindrical Timeline shape
and milestone so that when I add a milestone there are no dates associated
with it. I have de-selected all of the options for the timeline itself but if
you add a milestone it still shows the date. Basically i want to use the
timeline to show a high level view of any project with the milestones shown
days back from the end date i.e. end date is product ships, 4 weeks back I
need first draft of doc, eight weeks back product brochure, etc.

A quick cheat - Change the text colour to white. The dates will still be
there, but will not show.

John, Yes, I did that. I was hoping not to have to do that since I still have
to create a bunch of labels for all of the milestones on the timeline.

Create text box and place over the area you want.
