Network Diagram Printing in Project 2000

[las_cartas]

Hi, I have a large project that I would like to print in a network
diagram view.

I have about 200 boxes, and I would like to have Project automatically
fit the boxes nicely to a layout I give it. My ideal layout is
landscape, 36" high and 60" long (I am using an HP design jet 450
printer). However, MS Project prefers to arrange the plan in a more
vertical orientation (60" high and 36"+ wide).

Is there any way I can ask Project to reflow the network into the
dimensions that I prefer? Adjusting the boxes by hand takes a long
time.

Thanks in advance,

lc.

Check out Pert Expert from www.criticaltools.com. It'll save you hours of
rearranging boxes.

That looks like a good option, but before I go that route, are there
any free tools out there? Or any suggestions on how to write a macro
to arrange boxes?

Thanks,

lc.

The best way to start figuring out how to write a macro to arrange boxes is
to turn on the macro recorder and do some arranging.
It will take a while before you get to the level that pert expert offers.
The price is probably worth your time.
