    Create any legend you want in bitmap or metafile format and attach it to your footer as a logo.

    Hope this will help.

    Moises,
    The steps you wrote that applies to all activity. And other thing is that for doing that I have to create Target first which I don’t want. Is there any else method to show milestone or modified milestone symbols to place with legends of other bar. I can draw and insert the symmbol in bar area is one option.

    Ive never noticed that Milestones don’t show up in P3’s bar chart legend :|

    The only way to do it is to create an image file and insert it as a logo as the previous post pointed out.

    Alternately Print your schedule reports from Suretrak, The bar chart legend in suretrak includes start and finish milestones.

    Try:

    Format>Bar
    Pattern, Select "Pattern bars based on Act code", "Milestone".

    Create a Code Value/Pettern and Pattern Colour for each milestone you would like to see in your ledgend. Then select "Ledgend". This will create an output file using your P3 file location and project name.WMF.

    Then in your Footer select Logo in one of your option boxes, then "browse" and select the file you just created.

    I hope this helps

    Be careful with Suretrak and P3, although my preferred combination, you must realize they are not 100% equal in their calculations: noteworthy resource constraining calculations and resulting early dates, also activity splitting among others.
    As a general rule what you schedule under Suretrak will be shown equal under P3 but not necessarily the converse.
