Timeline Maker Pro - Overview

Create Charts with Just One Click

With a single click you can create flag charts or bar charts from pre-defined themes to build a wide variety of timelines for printing, sharing or presentation. Or, you can use your own logos, colors and other visual elements to customize your timelines to meet the specific needs of your own or your client’s organization. A formatted chronology (text) report can also be created with just one click.

Easy and Intuitive Event Entry

If you can use Microsoft® Office products, you can use Timeline Maker Pro. Enter your event data through an intuitive table interface similar to Microsoft Excel, or with some simple formatting you can import data directly from other applications.

Print, Publish and Present in Many Formats

There are many options to print, publish and present your timeline charts and chronologies, including a variety of graphic formats, PDF and HTML. Timeline Maker Pro’s built-in presentation tool and seamless integration with Microsoft PowerPoint give you a choice in how to best present your timelines.

Sharing Timelines is Easier Than Ever!

Timeline Maker Pro’s new and exclusive Package for Sharing function makes sure that your timeline files are always intact for sharing with others or making a presentation on a different computer. When combined with the free “read only” Timeline Maker Viewer this powerful feature allows you to accurately and securely share your timelines with anyone, anywhere.
