Hello again and welcome back to our course on Project 2016. In this section we’re going to take a look at Project Options. And to a large extent Project Options represent your own personalization of your installation of Project and in the way that you use Project on your projects.

Some of these options you need to have set correctly before you start to create and work on any kind of substantial project. And in fact as we’re going to get started on our exercise project in the next section very important that you go through this one carefully. Even if you’ve used Microsoft Project before I suggest that you follow this section through because I’m going to make sure that we cover all of the essential options so that when you start working on the exercise you won’t finish up having to sort of go back and redo things later on.

So to access Project Options the normal way is to go into Backstage View and right at the bottom you have Options and that brings up the Project Options dialogue. You’ve seen this already because there are various points where you get taken to this dialogue, often to a specific page on this dialogue and you are given the opportunity there to change something or set something. So you may well recall when we were looking at Quick Access Toolbar, for example, we went to this Quick Access Toolbar page and used the controls on this page to add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar, that Bold button. In fact I think I’ll remove that Bold button now. And we also removed a couple of other buttons that we didn’t need.

Now what we’re going to do in this section is go systematically through these pages and look at the options that we need to get set straightaway. Now in order to demonstrate the way that many of the options work I’m going to do a quick demo in relation to what’s called Screen Tip Style. The very top entry on the first page, the General page of options, User Interface Options, Screen Tip Style, Show Feature Descriptions in Screen Tips.

If I click on the dropdown here there are three options: Show feature descriptions in Screen Tips, Don’t show feature descriptions in Screen Tips, Don’t show Screen Tips. Now at the moment with that first option selected, let’s go back to that. Just click on OK. If I hover over one of the buttons on the Ribbon I get a Screen Tip, Move Task, Move the selected task forward. You can also move the task to when the resources are available, etcetera. Now let me go back into the Options and let me change that to Don’t show feature descriptions, click on OK. OK generally saves any changes that I’ve made. Let me hover over Move again.

And now all I get is Move Task. So that’s the name of the command but not a description of what it does. If I go back into Options again, obviously if I chose the third option, Don’t show Screen Tips, I wouldn’t even see the Screen Tip with the name of that particular command. So let me put that back at its previous setting, the original setting, and that’s really the principle on which many of these options work.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
