Hi:
I create a chart in MS Project (.mpp file).
I look at the Network Diagram view (selected under View menu).
Note:
It is large in size: roughly 400 pages x 2600 pages,
where a page size = 8 1/2" x 11"
I select the entire chart contents, and select Copy.
I open Visio and select Paste from the Edit menu
OR right-click the mouse and select Paste.
This pastes an editable MS Project window into the Visio sheet.
Note: If I select any other form of "Paste" (e.g., Paste Special,
or tell it to paste a GIF image, etc.) it pastes a resizeable view
of just what was on the screen, not the entire contents of
the Project File's Network Diagram. But, if I just select paste,
an editable window gets pasted into Visio. Initially, this window
has the green resize tabs. If I try to resize it, it sizes back to
default dimensions. I found that by just selecting the object so
that its resize tabs appear, and then right-clicking and selecting
Format>Behavior, selecting the Double-Click tab and selecting
the Open Shape's Shape Transorm "bullet", I see the windows
"size shape info" when I double-click it.
For this case, the shape's width and height are both 12.5937".
If I try to change these values to something larger, these "default" values
reappear...not what I entered. If I change these values to something smaller
than 12.5937" it accepts my values.
Initially, I tried just resize the active Porjcet file in the Visio window by
resizing it via dragging on its black tabs, but it usually will resize back
to the default size (or disappear). And, say that I have a larger active
Project window in the Visio sheet. Once, I click out of the window
to keep it at that size but be back into Visio, the window rsizes back
to the default size or diappears. It fails to keep my new Project window';s
size settings. I want to be able to see the entire Porject window open in
Visio.
So, the key question is:
Why can't I view my entireProject File in Visio if I try to resize it ?
If I can, how do I go about fdoing it ?
This problem was repeatable on another computer with twice the
RAM that is available on mine.
P.S. Even if I initially select a smaller size area to Copy in Project
and the Paste into a Visio sheet, the same problem occurs, though
the default size values for the new selection may differ from 12.5937"
