MindView lets you export your document as a Microsoft® Project plan. This may be useful when, for instance, having built and fine-tuned a project plan in the MindView Gantt view, you now want to take advantage of Microsoft Project's advanced project management capabilities.
All the task and scheduling information contained in the MindView project plan is exported to Microsoft Project.
This export method is only available when you are working on a project plan. See "Inserting task data" and "Using the Gantt view" for more information about project plans.
MindView also lets you import documents from Microsoft Project. For more information, see "Importing from Microsoft Project".
MindView does not support versions of Microsoft Project prior to 2003. You need to have Microsoft Project installed on your computer in order to use this export method.
You can also export a MindView project plan to the Microsoft Project XML format. The advantage of this method is that you do not need to have Microsoft Project installed on your machine. See "Exporting to XML" for more information.
Click the File tab.
Choose Export | Microsoft Project.
Choose a file name and a destination for the exported file and click OK.
MindView starts exporting your document to Microsoft Project as a new project plan, and displays a message once the export is complete.
Only the elements of the MindView project plan that are supported by Microsoft Project are exported:
Branch pictures, icons, attached objects and so on are not exported.
Text notes are exported as Microsoft Project task notes.
Number calculation values are exported as numbers, and Text calculation values are exported as text. For more information on calculation values, see "Inserting calculation values".
Pop-up comments are not exported.
The property 'Include in export' of the Properties dialog is ignored when exporting to Microsoft Project.
