If you're new to Project or you've used an older version and you?d like a different view on the changes, there are some good videos in microsoft.com that you can take a look at. But if you just want to get help about particular features of MS Project 2013, there are two ways of pulling up the Project Help tool--either click the question mark icon or press the F1 keyboard shortcut. Some of the features of Help in Project 2013 are the Getting Started section, the What's New with Project 2013 section, and Basic Tasks in Project. You can also adjust the text size of the Help page or print a particular page or section of some pages. If you can't find the topic you are looking for, you can always use the Search box. Whether it's online help or offline help or contextual help you're using, this video tutorial is for you!

Hello again and welcome back to our course on Project 2013. In this section, we’re going to look at Help.

As with most major new software products nowadays, there is very limited help actually provided with Project and the bulk of the help is provided online. Therefore in order to take advantage of the full Help facilities of Project 2013, you will need an internet connection. I do have a live internet connection.

And one of the great advantages of Project 2013 in terms of Help is that access to Help is provided in a very consistent way. Generally speaking, in the top right hand corner of any window, you will see a little question mark and if I hover over the question mark on the start screen window, here you’ll see that the word Help is shown. That’s called a screen tip. And then after Help in brackets it says F1 and that is the keyboard shortcut for Help. Basically, there are the two standard ways of getting help in Project. Either click on this question mark or use the keyboard shortcut F1. If you click on the question mark or use the keyboard shortcut, you open browser based Help.

Now unfortunately at the time of recording this course there was alignment problems with this Help Home page. It won’t actually stop me covering the material on the page but it does look a little bit strange. But I think when I explain it to you it won’t really cause you a problem.

The Help home page really contains four main sections. Up here you have a set of buttons which I’ll talk about in a moment and then a search box that you can use to search the online Help for a particular feature. You then have three other sections. You have a Popular searches section which basically gives you the terms that are the most popular for people to search on in Help. I’ll come back to the Search and those popular searches a little bit later on.

The third section is a Getting Started section and that gives links to three main getting started sections within the Project 2013 Help. There’s What’s new with Project 2013. Note that as I hover the mouse over that term, it’s underlined and becomes a live hyperlink. Then it has Project keyboard shortcuts. We’re going to be talking about the keyboard shortcuts a little bit later on. And then it says, Make the switch to Project 2013. If I click on that one, Make the switch to Project 2013, it gives access to a page within microsoft.com where you can download a number of relatively short videos that give you some information which is particularly useful if you’re switching from another version of Project. So apart from giving a summary of the new features, it explains things like a tour of the Ribbon and where all your favorite buttons and menu items are in Project 2013. So if you’re new to Project or you’ve used an older version and you’d like a different view on the changes, there are some good videos here for you to download and take a look at.
And when you’ve finished looking at those, then you just close this browser and you’ll be back to the Project Help home page again.

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