MS-Project >> Network Diagram

Asked by ExpExchHelp in Microsoft Project Project Management Software, Web Graphics Software, Graphics

I'm using MS-Project for a school project.   Entering the activities and creating a linked Gantt chart was easy.

In addition to the Gantt chart, we also need to include a "PERT diagram".   We have an example report that depicts that PERT diagram similar to the one shown in JPG snapshot at:

When researching "PERT" in more details, it appears that the diagram is more like a network diagram (best, middle, worst case).   When having MS-Project create a network diagram, it looks completely different though.

My questions:  
1. If my goal is to duplicate the approach (as shown in sample JPG), can I do this in Project?    If yes, how?
2. Or do I need to look for another software to create such a network diagram?   If yes, do you have a recommendation for a free product (30-day license is fine)?  Preferably, the software should allow me to import the data from MS-Project.

Thanks,
EEH
