A timeline can really help you out when you need to report “big picture” project information. It’s a professional-looking snapshot of key tasks and milestones that’s good to go in any status meeting — just drop it into a PowerPoint slide or Word doc, or email it to your boss.

  1. Click anywhere in the timeline.

  2. Click Format > Copy Timeline, and pick a size:
