Lesson 1: New Feature Overview

Overview

This lesson introduces you briefly to the new features of Microsoft® Project 2000 and its companion product, Microsoft Project Central. It also reviews how Microsoft Project 2000 helps reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in large organizations.

What You Will Learn

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

·  Briefly discuss the new features of Microsoft Project 2000 and Microsoft Project Central

·  List the system requirements for Microsoft Project 2000 and Microsoft Project Central

·  Describe how Microsoft Project 2000 reduces TCO


New Feature Overview

In this latest release of Microsoft Project, Microsoft has delivered two different products with two different feature sets. The first is the desktop application, Microsoft Project 2000. The second is a Web-based, workgroup application called Microsoft Project Central.

In this portion of the course, we will briefly describe the product and some of the new features of each product. This is done to help introduce the product. It is not intended that you will have an in-depth understanding of these features after completing this lesson. That understanding should come later in this course when the features listed below are covered in further depth.

Microsoft Project 2000

Microsoft Project 2000 is an enhanced version of the desktop application Microsoft Project 98. It includes many new features that greatly increase and expand its functionality and ease of use. Among the new features are the following:

Delivery Tip

Go through each of the new features and introduce each one. Spend time briefly demonstrating each of the features not covered later in the course.

HTML Help

Microsoft Project 2000 includes a new help feature that includes the following:

·  HTML-based help – follows the familiar Web format

·  Help Home Page – this page includes links to all parts of Help

·  Project Map – a new map based on project management principles and user goals

·  Quick Preview – a brief presentation on the capabilities of Microsoft Project 2000

·  Tutorial – a brief lesson on working in Microsoft Project 2000

Accessibility

The Microsoft Project 2000 user interface is now consistent with Control Panel Settings when running on Microsoft® Windows® 95 or Microsoft® Windows NT®. Some features, however, work best on Microsoft® Windows® 98 or Microsoft® Windows®  2000.

If you choose the High Contrast appearance scheme on a Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 machine, you may experience printing problems. This is because high contrast formats text as white, much like you changed the text color yourself. On a Windows 98 or Windows 2000 machine, however, schemes are treated differently and you will not experience this problem.

Microsoft Project 2000 has also added support for Microsoft® Active Accessibility® (MSAA). This allows third-party accessibility aids such as screen readers and voice-input utilities to work directly with Microsoft Project 2000. For more information on accessibility options or add-ons, consult Microsoft Project’s online help.
