Description
Project Reader is an affordable desktop solution that enables users to open, print, and export files from Microsoft Project. It supports a wide range of Microsoft Project versions, from the legacy MS Project 98 to the latest MS Project 2019. You can access, print, and export any MS Project file without needing to have MS Project installed on your system. The application features a multilingual interface that allows users to change the language in real-time. With Project Reader, you can easily access all MS Project plans in various formats at a very competitive price. The software provides tools to monitor task progress using Gantt charts, label tasks, and print or export any view. Users can create and store custom tables within Project Reader or select their preferred table format for each view. Additionally, it offers the capability to search through extensive project data by applying existing filters or crafting new ones. You can print views based on specific date ranges, check the print preview, adjust the print file size, and much more, making it a versatile tool for project management. This functionality ensures that users have comprehensive control over their project data, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
