The Project Reporter installation includes an export macro to create PRX files
from either Microsoft Project 98 or Project 2000/2002. The macro automatically
saves the current project as a PRX file in a designated directory, which should
be set up as a data source directory for
Project Reporter.
To install the macro, follow these steps:
-
Open the macro file in Microsoft Project 98 or 2000/2002 (the file is located in
the Project Reporter installation folder). If you see a warning dialog about the
macros in this file, select "Enable macros".
-
Select Organizer from the Tools menu, and click on the Modules tab in the
Organizer dialog that appears. You will see lists of the macros and forms
available in your global template on the left, and in the file you opened on the
right. Select all of the items in the list on the right, and click "Copy" to
place them in your global template. This will make the macro available in any project
file you open.
-
(Optional)
Use the
Tools | Customize | Toolbars
menu command to create a custom toolbar button to run the export macro.
To run the export macro, use the custom toolbar button, or select
Macro | Macros...
from the Tools menu, then select "ExportToProjectReporter" and click "Run"). A
dialog box will appear in which you can specify the name of the PRX file and a
directory to export to. Click on the Export button to save the file.
