Hi again Saheed

Here's a link to a quick guide to getting started with Project 2010.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/project-2010-quick-reference-guide-TC101731504.aspx

To help people get started it is worth creating a template with File, SaveAs, Project Template. A prompt lets you choose which items not to include in the template for example Resources, Values, baselines.

Then to use the template select File, New, My Templates.

As we saw there are several sample templates that can be downloaded by selecting File, New, Office.com templates.

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
