Hello again and welcome back to our course on Project 2016. In this section I’m going to look at using Project 2016 using a touch screen device in a little bit more detail. If you don’t use a touch device and have no desire or need to use a touch device you can pretty much ignore this section, skip straight on to the next one.

Now Touch Mode in Project 2016 is an interesting thing in a way because it is supported and you can do a lot of things using a touch device in Project 2016. But my feeling is that some things don’t really lend themselves very well to the use of touch. But that is to some extent a personal opinion and if you’re using a touch device with Project 2016 you may find that you can do pretty much everything you need to do using touch.

Now the first thing I need to say is that with Microsoft products and particularly Microsoft Office related products nowadays there do tend to be two or more versions of various products. And when I’m looking at the use of touch here and in particular in relation to Project I’m talking about touch as it’s used on a desktop product. And Microsoft themselves still say that their desktop products are intended for use and are optimized for use with mouse and keyboard. So they’re recommended way of using Project 2016 is still mouse and keyboard. Having said that, as I say, if you want to use a touch device or need to use a touch device that’s really what I’m going to do in this section. I’m going to give you a pretty quick overview of the key points you need to be aware of.

Now before I demonstrate a bit of use of touch let me refer you to a document. Now as usual this may change between the time that I record this and the time that you work your way through it. But if you go to the Office.com site there is a particular page there that explains how to turn Touch Mode on or off.

Now I’ve already shown you how to do that. I’m not going to go through it again. But towards the bottom of that page there is a section, More Touch Tips, that gives a link to the Office Touch Guide. And if you go to the Office Touch Guide it actually refers to Windows 8 here and of course I’m running here on Windows 10. And this Office Touch Guide really relates to Office 2013, not 2016. But pretty much what is here is still totally relevant to what we’re doing in Project 2016. So it explains tap and pinch and stretch and slide. Now you may be very familiar with all of these things and you may be familiar with them in relation to Office products.

But if you’ve got any doubts or uncertainties I suggest you have a look through those because it will tell you a lot about general aspects of using touch with a Microsoft Office desktop product. Now there are specifics there in relation to Excel and PowerPoint but just stop if you like at the end of the general points, working with shapes and objects, and I think you may find this document a pretty useful introduction to the use of touch that you can extend into your use of it with Project 2016. So let me do a little bit of work on a project using touch. I’ve started that project.

I’m just going to use my fingertips from now on. I already have the Touch/Mouse Mode button visible on the Quick Access Toolbar. So I’m going to tap on the dropdown and I’m going to choose Touch Mode. Now as you saw earlier when I go into Touch Mode everything is spaced out more. It certainly makes it easier to use with my fingers.
