browse to find the file named finance.mpp that you copied from the companion
Web site, or author’s Web site for this text, and then double-click the filename
to open the file. This file provides a template for a project to implement
a new finance and accounting system in a corporate environment.
The finance.mpp file is identical to the template named “Finance and Accounting System Implementation”
that comes with Project 2007, which you can also access from the Templates, On computer... option
shown in Figure A-9.

Figure A-10.
