Default Visio missing menu selection to import Project files to timeline

I have Visio 2003 pro and Project 2007 loaded. When I follow the help
instructions to import Project files to Timeline (open a timeline, then from
the timeline menu item select import) I find that there is no Import
selection. The strange thing is that within our work group most of the
systems set up are the same; but one of the systems actually has the
selection! The best we can come up with is that Project needs to be loaded
after Visio for this to work.

Anyone have any advice, other than reloading both programs in some specific
order, on how to make this work?

Default Visio missing menu selection to import Project files to timeline

There is no order requirement that I'm aware of for the Timeline solution
specifically. However - it is always a best practice to install the older
application versions first, then newer ones. This is because of the shared
modules between the various apps in the Office family.

In a workstation where you have the problem, try closing Visio 2003, and
all other Office apps, and then use the Control Panel to repair the Project
2007 installation. It may be that there are installation settings that
need to be restored for Project. Alternatively - just run Project 2007,
which should automatically restore any changed registry settings.

Thanks for the advice Barb.

Unfortunately, it didn't work to repair either Project or Visio. I guess I
am going to have to uninstall and figure out the right sequence, nobody here
can remember exactly how their system was set up.
