Network diagram and the Web

[Andronica]

Ok, here is my problem. I need to show a project in the Network Diagram
layout. The CEO would like our clients to view only the Network Diagram on
the web.

Ok, no big deal right? However, when I review the program, it seems that I
have to install SQL, SharePoint, Project Web and something else in order to
do this....

There must be a simpler way of doing this. All I need to do is show a chart
to people in a web format.

What am I missing!

Thanks

Hi Andronica,

View the Network diagram and use the Copy Picture button on the Standard
Toolbar. This will create a GIF file that you could either email your
clients or post on a web site.

You may also like to view FAQ #16 "Project Viewer" at:
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

If you save the project file as a web page, you can insert the GIF file in
the web page through the Export Wizard - Map Options.

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

Here is the delima. The project when viewed in Network view at 50% of size
is 9 pages tall by 5 pages wide in Landscape. Copy to Gif dosn't work on
this at all.

I will give the viewer a try, however, I just want to ask one more time to
make sure. There is no simple way to save a network view to a web page is
there?

Thanks

Andronica

Why doesn't the "copy to GIF" work? Graphics on a webpage - drawings,
pictures, diagrams, whatever - need to be in a gif, jpg, or png file format
to be processed by the web browser that is visiting your site. Remember
that the actual page the viewer sees is constructed by his web browser in
his own machine, constructed locally according to the instructions in the
html file downloaded to him from the web site he's viewing. Something like
the Network Diagram must be in picture form for his browser to know what to
do with it. If you're saying the "copy to gif" isn't working because the
resulting file is too big for practical downloading (a common occurance) the
solution is to load it into an image editing program such as Photoshop or
similar and resize it to more workable dimensions for posting.
