SUMMARY
When using the Copy Picture command to capture a static picture of a timescale view in Microsoft Project, the picture may not span the portion of the timescale being viewed on screen.

MORE INFORMATION
When a timescale view, such as Gantt Chart or Resource Usage, is copied using the Copy Picture command, the portion of the timescale that will appear in the pasted picture is based on the dates that you manually set in the Print dialog box. However, if the Project's dates are used, then the pasted picture is based on the portion of the timescale viewed on your screen.

For example, if you have just printed your Gantt Chart and specified that the timescale print from 1/1/94 to 6/1/94, when you next copy a picture of your Gantt Chart, the picture will span the timescale from 1/1/94 to 6/1/94 regardless of what portion of the timescale you are actually viewing on screen.

This behavior occurs whether or not the For Printer option is selected in the Print dialog box.
