Is that the case? Our local-office Program Manager has MS Project. In it, she tracks about a dozen products/projects simultaneously, and can show them in relation to each other on stacked GANTT timelines. This is important because many resources are shared among projects. As the writer who does the customer docs for all the projects, I want to see in visual, GANTT format, if sliding project schedules have me writing docs for two different products in the same week (or doing my research and writing at the same time that key engineers are away at a trade show or vacation). I need a project app to go along with OpenOffice (which I use in preference to MS Office whenever I can get away with it...) that can import the MS Project source file and let me see the big GANTT chart that I need to see. Does OpenProj deliver? Any other open or free or low-cost project planning app? Also, I use Windows at work and Mac at home (I've now relegated my Linux boxes to slow-old-server status only - Mac is mostly nicer ;-> ) - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
