Project 2016 - Introduction

Project 2016

Lesson – Learning Project Basics

In addition to opening Project 2016 files, you can also open project files created in earlier versions of the application. When you open a file from an earlier version, they open just like files created in Project 2016. When you attempt to save an older Microsoft Project file, however, a Project dialog box opens, prompting you to overwrite the older version with the latest Project format. Choose to overwrite the file or save it in its old format.

Work with one project at a time or open multiple projects when necessary. It is a good idea to only open the necessary projects to enable Microsoft Project to run more efficiently.

The Open dialog box

NOTE Add a folder or file to Quick access by dragging it.

Project displays the names of the most recently opened projects in the Open screen, Recent section and in the Open dialog box. When you click a file name in the list, the corresponding project opens.
