Saving files in other formats
I have produced a gantt chart that has been sent to a small group of people. However one of them does not have access to microsoft project. Is there any way of saving the information in another format so they can see the gantt chart and data?
RE: Saving files in other formats
Hi Megan,
Thank you for your question.
There are several ways but it will also depend on how long the project is.
1. The first thing you can do is zoom out on the gantt chart so you can see as much of the task sheet and the gantt chart as possible. You can move the split bar so that the task names are only showing from the task sheet so you have more room for the gantt chart.
2. Once completed click the Copy Picture button on the standard shortcut toolbar to take a snapshot.
3. Choose the 'On Screen' option and click OK.
4. Now you could paste it into a word document and email or print the document.
5. You could also select the whole display by clicking the button at the intersection of the ID numbers and field headings.
6. Then copy and swith to Excel.
7. Use Paste Special and Paste it as a Project Object.
8. A final method would be to go to Print and choose the PDF option and then save it as a PDF document.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon

MS Project tip:Keep constraining dates to a minimumAs far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields. |
