Try MPP Viewer. It works great.

OpenProj does work. You'll be able to print an MPP file to a printer or PDF from there. For unconfidential project files you may also find the online converter sites useful.

Hi. But OpenProj don't open all versions. There's an other alternative? – Cristian Bravo Feb 10 '12 at 14:30

Project Libre has superseded OpenProj and claims Project 2010 compatibility.

http://www.projectlibre.org/ is the homepage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenProj#Fork_-_ProjectLibre gives some history on how OpenProj forked to give rise to Project Libre.

I do not think there is an open source viewer on the market. But if you need a viewer to open all versions, you can try the Light version of MOOS Project Viewer. This one is free but limited in functionality. The full version has more features.

Same here, I doubt there's any good quality open source project viewers. The majority give you a free trial or a cheap yearly license rate, which isn't bad if you want a software where you can actually reach the support staff. I personally use http://www.steelray.com
