Copy Picture to Office Wizard in Project sorts resources

[DougK]

Hi,
I am using Project 2003, trying to generate a PowerPoint slide of my Gantt
chart. When I use the Copy Picture to Office Wizard, it re-sorts the rows in
my Gantt chart by resource name, which messes up the links between dependent
tasks. The re-sort occurs immediately upon clicking the wizard button, and it
even modifies the Project itself (once I'm through generating the slide, I go
back to the Project and the rows have been rearranged as well). Is there a
way to force the wizard to leave things alone and generate EXACTLY my layout
and ordering? In the mean time I am using the Copy Picture to generate GIF
images.

Hi Doug,

it all depends on how many rows you have in your project. I can show a
simple 50 project using the copy picutre icon in 2003 - but i dont use the
GIF view i just copy to screen when its loaded to PP you have to resize it
but once its on slide show image i use that for board presentations- if ither
are more rows you may have to select your rows before using the copy
picture or have to break the view down into say either picking the summary
only tasks or the critcal path again depending on your audience.. there may
be other ways to skin the cat but thats the quickest i use
