Sending Timelines to PowerPoint (or anywhere else)

I am writing a short course on "This is the Bible".  Just an introductory overview for fairly new believers.  One of the things I would like to do is include a timeline of the English translations in my PowerPoint presentation.

The challenge I seem to be facing is that when I right click and choose Send to PowerPoint (or copy then paste to Word) it only sends the portion visible on the screen.  If there is more timeline than what is visible on the screen it doesn't make it to the destination.

I am using the highest resolution possible on my computer.

 

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?

 

thanks!

    have you tried using the resource's pull down menu and selecting "print/export"?

    can you provide a link for the timeline?

    I think you will have to paste two views of the timeline, even if they overlap.

    Dan, I was using the Logos Timelines (English Bible Translations).  I was finally able to use the Save As feature, saved as JPEG and I was able to insert it into PowerPoint.  

    It just took more work than I expected.

    Thanks for your help.

    I just realized I don't have that resource.  And since I don't know XML, likely won't be using it, unfortunately. Sounds like a nice tool.

    glad you got it to work.  but I do wonder: is there a menu pulldown for it?  If so, did you try "print/export"?  likely it was the same thing as your trying to right-click, but I was just wondering.  Have a good holiday season!
