Liam has attended:
Project Intro Intermediate course

Options menu

Does making a change in the options menu affect all projects (a global change) or just the project open?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: Options menu

Hi Liam

Thank you for your question. In MS Project some of the settings within Tools > Options apply to future projects (look for buttons that allow you to apply settings as a default). The remaining majority of settings apply just to the current plan.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
