Microsoft
Project 2010 Compatibility
WBS Chart
Pro 4.8 (and earlier) and PERT Chart EXPERT 2.7 (and earlier) do not work with Project 2010.
You need to download and upgrade to WBS Chart Pro 4.8a or
PERT
Chart EXPERT 2.7a in order to be compatible with Project 2010.
This is a free upgrade for most, see below for details.
Note: During Setup, choose to Modify MS Project.
This adds some components to Project 2010. However, this does not add a button to the Ribbon in Project 2010. You need to do this
manually. To add a Tab and Button to the Ribbon in Project 2010:
1. Start Project 2010, right click on the
Ribbon and select "Customize the Ribbon..."
2. Click a Tab in the Main Tabs section in the
right column and select the New Tab button. Click this New Tab, click
Rename, type Critical Tools and click OK.
3. In the left column, click the
"Choose Commands from" drop down list and select Macros.
4. Select New Group in the right column.
5. Click the GotoWBSChartPro (or
GotoPERTChartEXPERT) macro in the left column and then click the Add>>
button to copy this to the New Group.
6. Click New Group and Rename if you wish to
rename this group.

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.
