Dalina.K,

The only thing that I came up with when I searched on the Internet is a Microsoft Project Viewer and it is found [HERE|http://www.steelray.com/spvmac.html].

Of course you are looking for something that was made for Mac and equivalent to MS Project and that I don't think is available. I would recommend running Windows on a boot camp partition instead of Parallels when you need to run MS Project as it will allow you to run Windows and the Windows based applications with native speeds.

Hi,

An alternative is Openproj which you can download at http://openproj.org/. It is an open source of version of MS. Project.

Hope this helps.

I was adviced on a different forum to check out Merlin. It runs on Macs and able to import/export MS Project. Its aesthetics are definitely way better, and its simpler to use (i've tried the demo). As a graphic designer, these kind of apps drive me nuts but Merlin's nice interface makes it less intimidating... somehow 🙂
