Info

The project plan window contains a view of the active project plan. (We’ll refer to the types of documents that Project works with as project plans, not documents or schedules.) The name of the active view appears on the left edge of the view—in this case, the Gantt Chart view is displayed. The box labeled Type a question for help allows you to quickly search for instructions on performing common activities in Project. Simply type in a question and press Enter. Throughout this book, we’ll suggest questions that you can enter into this box to learn more about specifi c features. If your computer is connected to the Internet, your search query will go to assistance content on Offi ce Online (part of the Microsoft Web site), and the results displayed will refl ect the most up-to-date content available from Microsoft. If your computer is not connected to the Internet, the search results will be limited to the Help installed with Project. Next, you will view the templates included with Project and create a project plan based on one of them. 7. On the File menu, click New. The New Project task pane appears. 8.

16 Chapter 1 Getting Started with Project Tip Depending on how Project was installed on your computer, the templates included with Project might not be installed at this point. This “install on fi rst use” setting is one of the setup choices for optional components included with Project. If you have never seen the templates included with Project before, spend some time browsing through them. You might fi nd one that matches an upcoming project for which you’d like to develop a full plan. Starting with a predefi ned template can save you a great deal of effort. Project creates a project plan based on the New Business template and closes the New Project task pane. Your screen should look similar to the following illustration. For the next few exercises in this chapter, you will use the sample data provided by the template to identify the major parts of the Project interface.
