I would like to turn my Project WBS into a document with headings...
Can I export to a word doc?
I know I can do a 'save as text' but I thought there might be a better way,
complete with formatting.
Thanks,

Hi Hugh,

You can save as HTML or Print to PDF via Adobe writer or any pdf writer
available.
You can also use CopyPicture.

Also look at http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
Faq 16: Project Viewer

(I hope you are not allergic to this site as in your other post you seem not
to have found it :-))

Hugh,
In addition to Jan's suggestions you can also use VBA to export the
information from Project to Word. Like a manual copy/paste, VBA will
export the informations so it is fully editable in Word.

Hope this helps.

hugh,
I guess you start by either learning VBA yourself or having someone
write the code for you. If you are interested in learning VBA, there is
an excellent tutorial available on the MVP website. Go to:
http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm
At the bottom of the page you will find a link to, "Project 98 Visual
Basic Environment Training Materials". Although it says it is for
Project 98, it is equally applicable to all current versions of Project.
The only real difference is that each new version of Project has
expanded the Project Object Library (i.e. made more objects and features
available through VBA).

If you are interested in having someone write the code for you, post to
the microsoft.public.project.developer newsgroup or write to me direct.

Hope this helps.
