MicrosoftВ® Office Project 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))

When sharing Project data with other Office applications, two useful techniques include copying images of the active view and generating a new Office document that includes key Project details and an image of the active view.

You can both copy from and paste into Project just as you can with other Windows applications. However, when pasting data into a table in Project, take care to ensure that the data you want ends up in the correct fields.

To help import Excel data into Project, Project installs two Excel templates that are properly structured for importing into Project.

When opening other data formats in Project, Project uses import maps to help organize the imported data into the right structure for a Project table.

Project supports saving data to common structured data formats, such as XML.

Visual reports help you export Project data to nicely formatted Excel charts and Visio diagrams.
