Milestones Simplicity interacts with other applications in several ways. You can copy and paste a Milestones
Simplicity schedule into another application such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The schedule can be a picture
or an embedded or linked object.
You can also copy and paste information from another application, such as an Excel spreadsheet, into Milestones
Simplicity.
Paste Text and Numbers into Single Columns or Cells
Milestones Simplicity allows you to copy and paste single columns or cells of data into Milestones Simplicity
columns.
Copy and paste text into column cells
If you have a column of cells or a single cell in another application, such as Excel, you can easily paste that data
into any Milestones Simplicity schedule column.
1. In the other application, highlight and copy the column of text, as shown to
the right.
2. In Milestones, select the column that will receive the text, as shown below.
The Selection menu will display for that column.
3. Choose Selection | Column Type and Format | More Column
Options | Paste Column Text. The results are shown to the right.
Any text already existing in the column will be over-written with the pasted
text.
