Exporting MSP into Visio WBS

When I use the Visio WBS chart wizard in MSP the tasks are spread over several sheets \ pages and not linked in any sequence. How do i get all the tasks shown on one page.

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your question.

After training today I will download the addin for MSP and have a look at it for you as I have never used the addin before.

I will answer your question this evening.

Regards

Simon

RE: Exporting MSP into Visio WBS

Hi Brian,

Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

I created a linked project with about 19 tasks with some summary tasks as well. I then ran the Visio WBS chart wizard and chose all the tasks and clicked next and then finish.

The Organisation chart was then produced on one Visio page and I used the resizing handles in the corners of the sheet to fit the chart onto one page.

Can you explain to me how you used the wizard and how your project is laid out? Is it linked etc?

Regards

Simon

Do you have an email address?
if you create a project with about 50+ tasks with a top indent (title), 2 or 3 lower indents ( titles) with about 20 tasks in each ( all linked), use the wizard and select all tasks it created a visio split over several pages not just on One.

Thanks
Brian

RE: Exporting MSP into Visio WBS

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your response.

The only thing I can suggest is to try and create a hyperlink on your last task that navigates you to the next page of the Gannt in Visio.

I can't think of a way of sorting the page breaks out before it exports into Visio..

I am sorry I couldn't offer you any more suggestions.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
