Export to HTML dialog
You use the Export to HTML dialog to specify the way in which you want to export the current project to HTML. When you export a project to HTML, the spreadsheet information is converted to an HTML table and you can choose whether or not to convert the bar chart to a graphic for inclusion in the HTML file.
How to access the Export to HTML dialog
To access the Export to HTML dialog, click the File tab, click Import/Export then, click Export to HTML.
Explanation of the fields on the dialog
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| File | The location and file name of the HTML file you have specified are displayed in this field. You can either type a file location, name and extension directly into this field, or click Browse to select a file. |
| Browse | Click this button to browse for the location of the HTML file to which you want to export the project and enter a file name. Alternatively, you can type a file location, name and extension directly into the File field. |
| Current view only | Click this radio button to export the current view to the HTML file. |
| Current branch | Click this radio button to export the current branch of the project, including any subordinate tasks, to the HTML file. |
| Whole project | Click this radio button to export the entire programme of projects to the HTML file. |
| Include graphics in export | Select this check box to export the bar chart into the HTML file as graphics, or clear the check box to exclude the bar chart and export the spreadsheet only as an HTML table. |
| BMP files | Click this radio button to export the bar chart as BMP files. |
| JPEG files | Click this radio button to export the bar chart as JPEG files. |
| Export without HTML tags |
Select this check box to export the project to an HTML file without the <HTML> and </HTML> tags.
Clearing this check box is useful if you want to integrate the HTML file with other HTML files (or web pages) because it avoids having multiple <HTML> tags in the file. |
| Include header |
Select this check box to include header information in the HTML file, or clear the check box to exclude it. Enter any information that you want to display in the header in the field below the check box.
Right-clicking in the Include header field invokes a list of fields that you can insert into the header of the HTML page. If you have a preprepared HTML file that you want to use as the header, drag and drop the HTML file from Windows® Explorer into the Include header field to use that file's HTML as the header. |
| Include footer |
Select this check box to include footer information in the HTML file, or clear the check box to exclude it. Enter any information that you want to display in the footer in the field below the check box.
Right-clicking in the Include footer field invokes a list of fields that you can insert into the footer of the HTML page. If you have a preprepared HTML file that you want to use as the footer, drag and drop the HTML file from Windows Explorer into the Include footer field to use that file's HTML as the footer. |
