You don't, at least not directly. What you can do is grab a snapshot of the
view you want to place on a Powerpoint slide with the little camera icon on
Project's main toolbar. This lets you grab a screen shot as a GIF image
file which you can then paster into a PP slide or Word document as you would
any other picture. As far as emailing, there should be no problem emailing
the project MPP file to someone. The person you send the file to *will*
have to have MS Project installed on their computer in order to open it of
course but there's no reason you can't email it.

i can e-mail the MS Project but the recepiant can not open it. They have MS
outlook, power point, access and front page so i was trying to send the
MSProject in a formatt they can open even though they do not have it
installed.
Thanks

As Mike suggested, see the FAQ (URL below) on Project Viewer for some ideas.
Powerpoint is not a very good option because there's usually so much
information in the Project file that it gets impossible to read when
compressed to fit on a slide. IMHO, the best solution is to print the
desired views to a pdf file and email the result to them. You can use Adobe
Acrobat or there are several shareware and even freeware PDF generators
available. Except for that, you can't save to another application's file
format. The File Save dialog in Project does give the option to save to an
Access database but that produces a set of raw data table that don't
resemble what you're seeing when you look at the Gantt chart at all.
