Project 2003 Won't Accept Formatting Changes

[Timmay G.]

Hello,

Alright, I know this is going to sound COMPLETELY easy (and it is), but it's
not working for me. I'm trying to display a different color Gantt Chart
Milestone indicator for milestones at different completion status (complete
vs. outstanding). However, whenever I try to change the milestone
indicators, Project will not display the changes on the Gantt chart. I have
applied similar formatting to standard task bars, and it works fine, but it
won't with milestones.

Any help would be GREAT. Thank!

Timmay,
Just a hunch but maybe you're not seeing your new formatting due to the
order in which it appears in the Gantt bar formatting window. Gantt bar
formatting that appears later in the list will take precedence over
formatting that appears earlier in the list, if there is a conflict.
