Dear Trainer,

We are attempting to convert a Master timeline Ms Project version 2003 file containing 6 independant timelines. The links between the Master file and the individual timelines are still active.

We are attempting to convert the 6 timelines in the Master Timeline into a single Visio file (1 Page) containing 6 linear timelines each containing corresponding key milestones from the individual timelines within the Master.

Firstly - would this be possible at all? If yes, could it be done automatically?

Our team needs to decide on the way forward by tomorrow morning. Any efforts to have 'YES possible / NOT possible' answer by then, would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Isabel Saez-Pujol

Hi Isabel

I know that this is possible using verion 2007. I do not however think that it possible to do this in version 2003. If you do manage to do this please post back and let me know.

Sorry I could not be of more help

Visio tip:

Creating an organisation chart in Visio using Excel data

A quick and easy way to create an organisation chart by importing names and titles stored in list format in an Excel spreadsheet into Visio.

1. Select File, New, Organization Chart.

2. Start the Organization Chart Wizard.

3. At the first step of the wizard, select the 'Information that I enter using the wizard' option, and click Next.

4. At the second step of the wizard, select Excel, then type the name of the file.

5. Select Browse to choose the location you wish to save the file to, click Save, and then click Next.

6. Click OK - a Microsoft Office Excel workbook will open with column headings already entered for you.

7. Replace the sample text with the text you wish to appear in your organisation chart. By holding your cursor over each column heading, you should be able to view data entry tips.

8. Save the Excel file, then close Excel.

9. Proceed through the remaining steps in the wizard to create your organization chart from the data you entered into the Excel file.

Visio's organisation chart wizard will also recognise the following file formats (besides .xls):

- Microsoft Exchange Server Directory (Microsoft Exchange e-mail Address Book).

- Tab- or Comma-delimited text (.txt).

- Org Plus (.txt).

- Microsoft Office Access (.mdb) or any other file format for a database created in an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant database application.
