Though this isn't at all easier than doing a screen capture!įinally, you can, of course, simply include an MS Project plan as an object in PowerPoint though this tends to make the PowerPoint files rather large and unwieldy.
This would then let you either insert direct to PowerPoint or open and copy a selected part of the image. The button looks like a camera.Īnother possible alternative is to print to PDF. There is also (or at least there used to be - I can't check whether it is still there in 2010 at the moment) a snapshot button in Project itself which captures an image of the current chart without Project's interface. Windows 7 also has the Snipping Tool which might be helpful. If you are a Microsoft Office user, see if you have access to Microsoft OneNote which includes a quick screen-grab shortcut. I would recommend using a screen capture tool.
Alternatively, you can go to full-screen in Project before doing Ctrl- PrtScn. So you then need to trim the image in Powerpoint. Of course, this leaves you with the MS Project interface in the image as well. You then switch to PowerPoint and paste the image in. This creates a bitmap image of the current Window in the clipboard. The easiest way is to use the native Windows Ctrl- PrtScn button combination.
