Saviing picture as a gif file that is too big

[Tomcat]

I have around 10,000 rows in my project file and I would like to present the
information as an html file with a picture of the gantt chart view. The
problem is that the gif file is limited to 100 inches and this is not large
enough to show all 10,000 rows. I can't condense the picture because it
becomes unreadable. Is there another picture file type I can export to that
can hande the large size? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For that number of tasks you will have to create a number of Gifs, 1 for
each task range. This will quickly get tedious so write or record a macro to
do it for you.

Tomcat,
Although Rod's suggestion may get you there, I think you will find that
the size of the resulting file will be horrendous (several Megs). An
adverse side effect of a very large file is slow performance at best and
possible corruption at worst.

Is there a compelling reason you want to show a graphic view of a 10K
line file? That much information is just to overwhelming to be usable
for presentations in my opinion. Rather, I would either filter or
condense the most relevant information into a view that covers no more
than a few 8 1/2 x 11 pages or an "E" size plot if desired.

On the other hand if you are trying to share all the gory details of a
large plan with others who work on the plan, share it in normal Project
form (i.e. .mpp file) or, if you are using Project Server, use Project
Web Access (PWA). If the people you need to share the file with do not
have Project, you might want to take a look at the MVP website at:

Take a look at FAQ 16 - Project Viewer

Hope this helps.
