New in Timeline Maker Professional 2.0.0 (May 1, 2007)
- Package for Sharing � this powerful new feature automatically collects all linked files, attached images, documents, etc. used in a timeline and creates a zipped file (*.tlmz file) that enables you to transport or send the complete timeline and files with confidence knowing all the files are intact. This is perfect for moving your timeline to a presentation computer or sending to a team member for review and editing.
- Timeline Maker Viewer � this independent program allows anyone to open, view and print your timeline charts and chronologies. This is a read only program, meaning you can share your files without concern that they can be changed or manipulated. Click here to find out more about the FREE Timeline Maker Viewer.
- Shared PowerPoint Presentations � until now, a copy of Timeline Maker Professional was required on any machine used to run a PowerPoint presentation that includes Timeline Maker charts. This is no longer the case. The presentation machine simply needs a copy of the FREE Timeline Maker Viewer. The Viewer automatically provides the proper rendering and controls for the timeline charts in your PowerPoint presentation. Timeline Maker Viewer doesn�t even need to be run, just installed on the presentation machine. To share your PowerPoint presentation with someone else, simply send them your �packaged� timeline file (*.tlmz) and the download link for the free Viewer.
