You can save a Gantt chart as a series of graphic files in the Meta File (.emf) format, which you can then insert in a file such as a Microsoft Word document or PowerPoint presentation. The number of graphic files created depends on the report type and options you choose in the Create and Print Gantt Chart Report dialog box. By default, Project KickStart saves the files in a folder named for your project.

To save Gantt chart images:

1. In the Create and Print Gantt Chart Report dialog box, click the Save Image button.

The Save Image dialog box opens.

2. Change the location where you want to save the image files or change the part of the file name that includes the project name and report type, if necessary.
3. Click the Save button.

Notes

• Project KickStart saves the image files in the PKSGanttImages\project name folder stored in the My Documents\Project KickStart Projects folder (where project name is the name of your project).
• Each graphic file name includes the name of the project, report type, date you created the report, and number in the series of images, as in CreateaWinningPresentation_Wall chart_09112008_1.emf to CreateaWinningPresentation_Wall chart_09112008_20.emf.
• To email the Gantt chart images, attach the images in the PKSGanttImages\project name folder stored in the My Documents\Project KickStart Projects folder (where project name is the name of your project). If the image files are large, zip or compress the files first.
• If you have installed PDF as a printer selection, you can print the Gantt chart to a PDF file and then attach the PDF file to an e-mail message. PDF files are often easier to read than image files. See the notes in Print Preview a Gantt Chart for instructions on printing to a PDF file.
