Getting Help with Project 2007

If your question is about Microsoft Office Project 2007, and not about the content of this Microsoft Press book, your first recourse is the Project Help system. This system is a combination of tools and files stored on your computer when you installed Project 2007 and, if your computer is connected to the Internet, information available from Microsoft Office Online. There are several ways to find general or specific Help information:

• To find out about an item on the screen, you can display a ScreenTip. For example, to display a ScreenTip for a button, point to the button without clicking it. The ScreenTip gives the button’s name and the associated keyboard shortcut if there is one.

• In the Project program window, you can also type a question into the Search box in the upper right corner of the Project window. The Search box initially contains the text Type a question for help. You can also click the Microsoft Office Project Help command on the Help menu.

• After opening a dialog box, you can click the Help button to display the Project Help window with topics related to the functions of that dialog box already identified.
