If the View Bar is not open, click View on the Menu bar, and then click View Bar. If the Project Guide pane
is not open, click View on the Menu bar, and then click Turn On Project Guide. Also, your toolbars, date formats,
or other screen elements may look slightly different from Figure A-1. Focus on the Project 2007 main
screen and the Project Guide Tasks pane.
Project 2007 is now running and ready to use. Look at some of the elements of the
Project 2007 screen. The default view is the Gantt Chart view, which shows tasks and other
information in the Entry table as well as a calendar display. You can access other views by
clicking each button in the View Bar on the left side of the screen. Notice that when
Project 2007 starts, it opens a new file named Project1, as shown in the title bar. If you open
a second file, the name will be Project2, and so on, until you save and rename the file.
When you start Project 2007, the Project Guide Tasks pane automatically opens, as
shown in Figure A-1. The Project Guide helps you learn Project 2007 by providing instructions
for completing various steps in building a Project 2007 file.
To use the Project Guide:
