Current WBS Chart Pro and PERT Chart EXPERT users, click on one of the following topics for more information:
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.
For an additional explanation and instructions see: Project 2010
Microsoft Project 2007 Compatibility
If you are using Microsoft Project 2007, please note:
Only WBS Chart Pro version 4.6 (or later) and PERT Chart EXPERT 2.5 (or later) are compatible with Microsoft Project 2007.
These versions of WBS and PERT started shipping in February, 2007. Versions prior to these are not compatible with Project 2007. Go to Help-About in the software to see which version you are using.
For Project 2007 compatibility, download and install the latest version of WBS Chart Pro or PERT Chart EXPERT from our website. This is a free upgrade as long as you are a current user of WBS Chart Pro version 4.x or PERT Chart EXPERT 2.x. Refer to the Download Page for more information and to download.
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.
