Hi Ava

Yes you can. Create your task with the required duration then double click it to go to task information and on the advanced tab check the box to show as milestone. Project redraws your task as a milestone followed by an exended dependency arrow to reflect the duration you entered.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

kind regards,

Andrew
