We often feel the need to open MS Project files but if MS Project is not installed, it is almost impossible to open mpp, mpt and xml files. MOOS Project Viewer is a free program that can open MS Project files and print them without problems.

Microsoft Project viewer is just a viewer for Microsoft Project but it is not developed by Microsoft since Microsoft did not developed a viewer for its Microsoft Project product. In short a MS Project viewer is a software application that users can use to open and view Microsoft Project files. It requires Java enabled platform including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux to run seamlessly.
MOOS Project Viewer Features:
- Open any and all Microsoft Project files (mpp, mpt, xml) and Microsoft Project versions (2000, 2003, 2007).
- No need to have MS Project installed on your computer.
- Easy to use interface.
- Available views: Gantt Chart, Task Sheet, Resource Sheet, Resource. Usage, Tracking Gantt, Calendars.
- Print any view.
- Wide Gantt chart timescale range.
- Show critical path, deadlines and baselines in Gantt chart.
- Show/hide, arrange and resize columns per view and keep settings.
- Run on Windows – 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Windows 7; Mac OS X and Linux.

ValleySpeak Project Server allows Project Managers to continue using Microsoft Project as their project management tool of choice, while allowing teams to publish, execute and control projects in real time.
It is the best alternative for Microsoft Project Server.
