 Exporting Gantt view Task info to Word

Clear DayGreetings Guru's

This is  a Project to Word question.  I have 26 templates that I want to
basically get the task columns from the Gantt view into a word doc (training
manual) without losing the formatting and indentation as displayed by
project. The columns are ID, Task Name, Duration, Start Date, Finish Date,
and Predecessor.  I've played around with exporting to various formats and
translating them into Word but I consistently lose the formatting on the
Tasks; summary's are bolded, etc. and I lose the indentation of the
subordinate tasks.  I also started to try a process in VBA that involves
creating a Word object (I added the MS Word 8.0 Object Library reference)
and exporting the task data to the word doc.  Didn't get to far with that
though.  So have I got a prayer at success?  What is the most promising path
to peruses?  All guidance will be gratefully appreciated and rewarded with
good blessings.

Thanks in advance.

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.
