Copying timelines into word processing applications

You can copy a timeline chronology into a word processing application. This is useful if you want to add your case chronology to a briefs document. TimeMap saves the selected timeline as a metafile so you can resize it without losing visual quality.

 

TimeMap offers three copy options:

•Copy Entire Visual to Clipboard as a Metafile

All of the elements of your visual will be copied to the clipboard.

•Copy One Page of a Visual to Clipboard as a Metafile

If the timeline has multiple pages, select this option to select a one page to copy to the clipboard.

•Copy One Page of a Visual to Clipboard as a Metafile (Repeat Mode)

This option lets you take advantage of the Repeat Mode feature. If a Fact flag is on a page break (and will not print entirely on a page), TimeMap will repeat the Fact flag from its start point on the subsequent page.
