Exporting reports from MS Project

[Howard]

Good Afternoon,

I've read many postings on the Office Discussion Groups website about
exporting reports from MS Project. I need to pass out reports to folks who
don't have project, but are listed a resources and task owners. Without
having to recreate the wheel in another program or become a programmer, is
there a way to create a report that could be distributed via another program
(i.e. Excel, Word)?

Thanks, Howard

Hi Howard,

See FAQ # 16 "Project viewer" at:

http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Project Viewer is great, but there are still people who insist on being able
to actually have schedules displayed in PowerPoint. The Copy Picture to
Office Wizard misses the mark, because it does a page at a time. What's
needed is the ability to Print to PowerPoint, so that all pages that would
print are created as PowerPoint slides.

Dean,

I truly think this is PowerPoint abuse, but why not screen shot the
reports and copy/paste into PowerPoint if you must indeed put paper
facsimilies into PowerPoint pages. Or, sometimes I "print" to the
Microsoft Office Document Image Write, then use that tool to create a
TIF File image of the page, then import that page into PowerPoint as a
picture. Better quality than screen shots, but more work. Get cleaver
and write a little VBA macro that automates this for you for all pages.

That being said, best to print reports to paper or Adobe PDF and keep
separate from PowerPoint

To export from Project to Word or PowerPoint I simply import to
Mindmanager (http://www.mindjet.com/uk/) and then export to the
relevant program - it takes me less than a minute and produces a
quality output.

You can also use the map that is created as an intermediary stage to
explain the project to those who are less receptive to the output from
project.


Feel free to ask for more details.
