Suddenly unable to display a WBS or PERT chart from MS
Project
If you attempt to create a WBS or PERT
chart from within MS Project and get a blank screen you most likely have
Project 2003 SP2 or SP3 installed.
Installing the latest version of WBS Chart
Pro or PERT Chart EXPERT will fix this problem (close
Microsoft Project before installing).
Or, with SP3, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Open Project 2003 SP3 and select
Tools-Options-Security.
2. Under Legacy Formats, select "Allow
loading files with legacy or non default file formats".

Using WBS Chart Pro, dragging to rearrange or using Cut/Copy and Paste
does not include subtasks
Issue: In WBS Chart Pro, dragging a
Summary Task or using Cut/Copy and Paste on a Summary Task only pastes
the Summary Task and not the Subtasks.
Explanation: This only happens when you
have a WBS chart that is linked to a MS Project plan when using
Microsoft Project 2007 SP2 or Project 2010. When you Drag or Cut/Copy and Paste a
Summary Task in WBS Chart Pro it tells MS Project to perform this same
operation. In MS Project 2007 SP2 and Project 2010 a Cut/Copy and Paste does not include
subtasks. It only pastes the Summary Task. This behavior is different
then all previous versions of MS Project. Although this looks like a bug
in MS Project, according to Microsoft, this is a new behavior and is by
design.
Solution: Installing the latest version of WBS Chart Pro corrects this behavior so that working with a Summary Task always
includes the Subtasks for that Summary Task.
