hey guys..

can someone help me out?. i need to make this really complicated timeline and i dont feel like drawing it.

So whats the easiest way of making a timeline on the computer?

Timeline's suck eh? Maybe try putting the entries in a table instead with the time periods down one column and their info in the next. I think that's okay, depends if your teacher allows you to.

As m0ofin said, probably a table using Microsoft Excel could work.
If you have Microsoft Student, there is a thing where you can create your own timeline using a preset template.
If all fails, just draw it. You'll probably get it done quicker by hand than struggling to make one on the computer.

i didnt think that you could do a proper timeline on the computer. but now i know.

i think drawing them is always easier. no matter how simple or complicated they are

You could always set the height and width of each particular cell manually, but that would have been a waste of time and effort. Much better just to draw it out.

lol, it's probably taking you more effort to figure out how to do it on the comp then fail it a few times before getting it right than drawing it ;p
