Update detects tasks, supports new modes
Stand By Soft has launched an update to its Microsoft Project viewer, MOOS Project Viewer 2.0. The utility is designed to address the lack of an official viewer for Microsoft Project files. Companies having numerous employees that simply need to view Project files, as opposed to creating and editing them, would need to have the full Project license. Project Viewer provides a low-cost alternative. It can open, view and print Microsoft Project files, with support for views such as Gantt Chart, Task Usage, Resource Sheet, Resource Usage and Tracking Gantt.
