Milestone markers

[EmiW]

Hello,
When I add a milestone marker (triangle) to a timeline, is it possible that
I can delete the date from showing? I want to only show the name
(description) of the item occuring at that date (and aligned to the proper
location along the timeline), but not the date itself.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Emi

A little cheat ...
click on area of the shape where the date are is
open the shapesheet ( menu Window -> Show Shapesheet)
edit the PinX (or PinY) by adding or subtracting a suitable number of
inches or mm to the dimension. This will just move it off-page.
You may find that actually deleting the date field in the shape will
cause problems when dates get updated.

Thanks for the tip as it took me to what I think is another solution.When I
scrolled around in the Shapesheet info, I saw another line called "Hide
Text". I changed "FALSE" to "TRUE" and that seems to work.
