Visio2007 How to export time line data to Project2007

Visio2007

Note: You must install Project2007 to use this feature.

In Visio2007, open the timeline drawing that contains the data you want to export, and then click the timeline's border to select it.

Note You can export only one timeline at a time. If you have more than one timeline on the drawing page (except for the expanded timeline), select the one you want to export.

On the Timeline menu, click Export Timeline Data.

Note If you do not have Project2007 installed, the export timeline data item will not appear on the Timeline menu.

Note If you export an expanded timeline, you will be asked whether you want to export all the data, or only the data that is shared by all timelines, because it contains more data than is displayed on the original timeline, such as an additional milestone.

In the Export Timeline Data dialog box, under Save in, browse to the folder where you want to save the exported file. In file name, type the name you want to use for the Project2007 file. In Save as type, click Project (*.mpp), and then click OK.

When the export is complete, a confirmation message is displayed.
