Saving the Gantt to share it with others

[Pablo]

I need to know how can I do to save the project and be able to attach it to
an email that will be sent to other members of the Team that don't have
Project. They would have an image that won't be able to modify but at least
will be able to see where we are.
Thanks

If you have some kind of PDF writer (such as Adobe Acrobat), you can
select that writer in the Print dialog box and print the current
Project view to a PDF file that will be saved on your system and can be
attached to an email message.

Hi Sarah
I can't find the option to print it as a file instead of to a printer.
I tried to save the project as a .xls file but the Gantt bars are not
showing, only a list of the tasks.

When I say that I tried to save it as an .xls I mean that that was another
option I have tried.

Do you have a PDF writer installed on your system? If not, then you
won't be able to. There are some free ones out there, but I don't know
any specific names. You could probably find them on Google.

OK, thanks

Have you tried clicking the "Copy Picture" icon on the toolbar? (It looks
like a camera).

Hi Pablo,

You might want to see FAQ #16 "Project Viewer" at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

for some additional information. You can "take a picture" of your Gantt
chart and then embed that picture in an HTML (web page) file that you can
email to other users. The first paragraph of the FAQ describes the process.

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

Slightly OT, but after a Gantt has been copied and embedded in a Power Point
presentation, is there any way to get into it and edit it? It keeps coming up
as an .xls when we try to edit it from within PP...
