That being said, here are some of the things you
can do with the software that can make your assignments much better and much
faster:
*Using
shortcuts
Use INS if you intend to input blank lines
Choose DEL if you are to remove task lines
Click F3 to discard a filter.
Also take note, that if you delete a Summary task,
this will remove every detail task within that task itself.
*Dealing
with the start date
For Project 2010, you can get the Move Project
button on the ribbon to alter the start date. You also have the option to
change the deadlines. You don’t get this in Project 2007 or its previous
incarnations. In order to remove the constraints then, you should double click
in a task and go to the Advanced tab. This is where you have the option of
resetting the Constraint type when you need to.
*altering
the working time
Every time you change the working time, you are
then permitted to change and create your own calendars. This way you can access
the calendars that are to be used in a given project. You can copy this with
the Organizer and put it in the Globa.mpt so that you can use it in the future.
You should also note that changing the views so
that you can see the alternate calendar is accomplished by right clicking
non-working time and by changing the calendar that is currently displayed. This,
though will need to be changed in the Gaant chart as it is different per every
view.
*how to get
plenty of options
You can view feature selection menus simply by
giving the Ribbon a right click. You can also do this to the toolbars, the
timescale and the other buttons on the document so that you will know what is
available to you.
As you can see, these are just some of the things
you can accomplish using Ms Project. Whether you get Project 2010 Pro or not is
up to you, but it is best if you know the different aspects of its GUI so that
you can produce the best quality output there is.
