Copy Graphics from Another Program

Many companies like to include logos or other sophisticated pictures in their Microsoft Project files. This usually means that the pictures have been created with a dedicated graphics program. No problem. Pictures and text can be copied from other programs into Microsoft Project. Keep in mind that when you copy a graphic from another program and then paste it into a graphics area, it is transferred as a static picture. If you update the original picture in its source file, the copy in the destination file remains unchanged.

1. Open the source program and the source file.
2. Select the object.
3. Click Copy (or the program’s equivalent command).
4. Open the Microsoft Project file into which you want to paste the graphic.
