I inserted a timeline and added certain tasks to it but when it comes to print, it is taking everything, form start of project to finish of project. even if i specify date range to print, it is showing everyhting on print.
i aso tried to paste in word. but again it copied everything and again i can not cut away the piece i want. all i want to show is a few months and the tasks within it, not the entire few year project. how can i show and print only the portion i want?

Use page break option

Sorry, the timeline runs from the entire project, beginning to end. That being said, I can copy the timeline, paste into a PowerPoint slide and then edit the individual component of the timeline. Can you paste into PowerPoint?
