How can I produce a historical timeline (i.e. BC)

[North_Point]

I am tying to create a timeline in Visio 2003 of dates long prior to AD (i.e.
BC Before Christ), however Visio wll only let me configure it back to 1899
which is about 2,500 years later than I need.

Is Visio linited to the 20th century and beyond, or is there a way around it?

Many thanks!

Visio uses the system time facilites, so it's a windows exposure. However,
nothing prevents the user from creating a basic timeline and adding objects
to illustrate what they need (you just don't get the helper code to move
things to the right place).

Thank you for your response I'll give it a try as you suggest.

I'm tring to create the same type of timeline. What do you mean by "creating
basic timeline"? Is that a timeline without Start and End time?
And what does it mean to "adding objects"? How do I do that?

Thanks!
