Use hand tools to take down localized twist or high spots in otherwise straight boards before using the powered tools. I tried to do it all with powered tools once and ended up with boards too thin for what I wanted to do.

Patience, winding stick and perseverance. Take the highs and lows from one side. Once a side is "flat" take it as a reference, flatten an adjacent side. Once 2 sides are squared, reference the 2 remaining sides, plane, check, plane, check, ... and after your "plane workout", you can feel great. The most important thing is to have a properly tune and sharp plane and a good square.
This is my way but there are many other ways. It works for me.

Yes if you have power tools, joint 2 adjacent sides on the jointer and plane it in the power planer.

"In your opinion, what is your biggest secret to successfully milling four-square lumber?"

Step 1) Google 'What is four square lumber'...
Well, I don't have a clue, much less an opinion. That's one reason I'm here on Lumberjocks, to learn. I watched the preview provided in the link and am a little smarter. Thanks for sharing Hendrik Varju.

Successful milling of four-square lumber (all four edges square to each other) is dependent on more than the technique used to feed the piece of wood being milled. My "secret" is to make sure that I take all the time necessary to ensure that the equipment being used is first accurately set up according to its specifications. If the jointer is not correctly set up to produce precise, flat surfaces at 90º to each other, the woodworker's efforts will be wasted. The same level of careful effort has to be spent on the planer in order to produce the required parallel surfaces. Once both machines are properly set, the various techniques of feeding the lumber can be successfully employed to compensate for bow, twist, etc.
By honing the performance of the tools, coupled with the required technique for the piece being milled, the resulting lumber should be exactly what you intended to produce. Then you still have the problems of storage and seasonal changes to deal with.

Ms. Debbie,

I'll be honest, I am very new to woodworking. Therefore, my only "secret" is to reach out to those who not only have experience with woodworking but also those who are willing to share and have patience with those like myself.

For me, I would say jointer technique. If you get two square edges off the jointer, you're home free. Focus on pressure, but not too much, and in the right spots as the wood travels across the cutter.

The secret I use to get four square lumber is a well setup table saw! And of course some jigs for that same table saw.

"With a twist, you must resist"
With a twisted board, I have found you must resist the urge to reset your push paddles. Keep the push paddles in the same place as the board passes over the jointer. In a few passes you will develop a flat, true surface to base your other milling on.
