Key Points

• When sharing Project data with other Office applications, two useful techniques include copying images of the active view and generating a new Office document that includes key Project details and an image of the active view.

• You can both copy from and paste into Project much as you can with other Windows applications. However when pasting data into a table in Project, take care to ensure that the data you want ends up in the correct fields.

• To help import Excel data into Project, Project installs two Excel templates that are properly structured for importing into Project.

• When opening other data formats in Project, Project uses import maps to help organize the imported data into the right structure for a Project table.

• Project supports saving data to common structured data formats such as Access desktop database and XML.
