Exporting data from Project

What are the most popular ways of getting Gantt charts out of Project into a format that is user-friendly (ie for clients who don't use projects). Is Excel the solution most people use?

RE: Exporting data from Project

Hi Kate

Thanks for your question.

Probably the most straightforward way of getting your Gantt chart out to a non Project user is to go to Edit > Copy Picture then paste the results into a Word document or perhaps PowerPoint.

The export is a picture rather than the underlying data.

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

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
