Transfer Gantt charts from MS Project to MS Powerpoint

[Christopher]

I have got some projects in Microsoft Project 2003 and I want to transfer the gantt charts to microsoft powerpoint? So does anyone know any ways how to do that. Thanks for any help.

You can try to copy picture to office wizard button on the analysis toolbar if you want. There is also another way to do this by using the Copy Picture button on the Standard toolbar to create a Gif image file which you can insert into Powerpoint or MS word. Hope this will help you out to solve the issue.

Thank you but I have used the below VBA Macro, since it avoids the requirement for a wizard and copies a WMF file instead of the bitmap file. All I did was just assign it to a button and then selected the tasks that I wanted to copy. It also finds out the proper start and stop dates on the tasks as selected:

Sub CopyTasks()
Dim TC As Task
Dim seltasks As Tasks
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date
EndDate = #1/1/1980#
StartDate = #12/31/2020#

Set seltasks = ActiveSelection.Tasks
On Error GoTo skipTask:
For Each TC In seltasks
If Not TC Is Nothing Then
If TC.Start < StartDate Then
StartDate = TC.Start
End If
If TC.Finish > EndDate Then
EndDate = TC.Finish + 20
End If
End If
skipTask:
Next TC
' Adjust back one week
StartDate = DateAdd("ww", -1, StartDate)
EditCopyPicture Object:=False, ForPrinter:=0, SelectedRows:=1,
FromDate:=StartDate, ToDate:=EndDate, ScaleOption:=pjCopyPictureShowOptions
End Sub
