Getting Started

[Meredith Seaborn]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get started
in Project? I have never used it before and I would like
to know what resources I have. Are there any wizard-type
things out there?

The first step would be to go to the help menu and find the project
tutorial.
It is fairly useful in teaching you how to run Project.
The project Map (also found in help) is useful in showing how the project
plan evolves.
Be warned that learning the menus and commands in project is the easiest
part. Actually creating a good plan with it is something that takes practice
and perhaps you might want to seek guidance from an experienced
practitioner..
