I can't believe that the feature is no longer there. I found that all of my custom views were available but can now only export to Excel. This is another dissappointment because you cannot tell the summary tasks from the detail as they are all using the same font. At least MS could have provided a Friendly spreadsheet export.

After reading through google and comments, I am not alone with this frustration. I wish MS listens to these comments and makes this SAVE AS HTML option available.

As it mentioned in other comments because it is in Prj. Server. Project server is the largest time sink that I know for very little benefit, it may have been Ok around 10 years ago... but now a days is slow, cumbersome to set up, hungry for resources not only HW but also people. I would not buy it again neither I would recommend. I consider that it is a real problem that MS Project “professional” does not include something so simple as an html export.

To not empower people to save project plans (gant charts) to html is just plain mean. Note I dont say stupid becuase what they have done is mean. Typical of their arrogance and abuse of power. Cant wait to move off their shit. I am sick and tired of Microsoft.

I can't believe MS removed this feature. I cant wait for Google to come out with a version of Project and updates there other apps so we can abandon MS forever. Fools.

MS really dropped the ball on this one, I think. And I'm certain Bob Plankers is quite correct - they surely removed it so they could sell MS Porject Server instead. Yeah.

Load the little app at this link: http://vsbabu.org/mt/archives/2005/05/28/export_ms_project_to_html.html 2. Save your project plan as 2003 version. 3. Run the app that you downloaded. It is a little rough around the edges but it works fairly well. I love being able to save as HTML and was quite dismayed that Microsoft eliminated that feature. Here is a workaround:

If I want to quickly share the schedule with an engineer it was always the best option. I agree that with the lack of helpful tips from MS on what to use as an alternative.

Very frustrating indeed unless you have time to construct your own XSL file to render the XML in a gantt chart... good luck with that :P The answer is simple, don’t use MS Project 2007, instead use MS Project 2003 where you can simply click “File | Save as Web Page…”.
