Retention of row-collapsed view for printing/copying?

[Poster]

Is there a method to save a Gantt view with a captured arrangement of
collapsed and expanded tasks without committing to it for daily viewing
forevermore? Specifically, there are views that I favor for printing
or copying that are largely, but not wholly, collapsed. I would like to
preserve these views without sacrificing the flexibility to expand and
collapse any desired task at any time.

Hi Poster,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

You could try View/More Views.../Gantt Chart/Copy. Give it a new name and
then change the view to your needs. You could put your new view onto a tool
button if you wish.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on )

Following your instructions, I created a copy of the Gantt.
Disappointingly, it appears to be linked to the original in the sense
that every task I collapse or expand on the copy is manipulated
identically in the original, and vice versa. What might I be missing?

Oooooooooooooooops, sorry, you're right - I gave you a bum steer - should
have retired to bed. It would work with filters, sort etc., but
apparamtly not collapsing. In which case I can't think of a way to do what
you want, though it might be possible with vba code. You could try posting
on the project.developer newsgroup.
