Exporting Gantt view Task info to Word
As far as I know there is no way to capture the cell attributes of font,
color etc. You can capture the type of activity (summary etc) by copying
out the "Summary" field and the indentation by copying out the "Outline
Level" field. If you copy this to Excel, then you could fomat based on
summary and outline level and get close.
Why not do a "Print Screen", paste the result into word, trim and scale as
necessary? That will give you the whole thing without any other formating.
