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:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
