Calendars are the primary means by which you control when each task and resource ca be scheduled for work in Project.If you are running Project Professional with Project Web App/Project Server, take care not to save any of the practice files you work with in this book to Project Web App (PWA). For more information, see Appendix C, “Collaborate: Project, SharePoint, and PWA.” Create a new plan and set its start dateAmazon.com: Microsoft Project Professional 2016.
If this looks very similar to the preview channel, you're correct. These were heavy hitters, so we're rolling out to the whole population as quickly as we can.Microsoft has already released two versions of Project, MS 2016 and MS 2019. The first one included updates to Project Online, Project Pro for Office 365 , and Project Professional. It also contained some of the most requested capabilities like Resource Capacity Planning and Resource Management.The scenario: Throughout this book, you’ll play the role of a project manager at Lucerne Publishing, a book publisher that specializes in children’s books. Learn Advanced Techniques in MS.Project 2016 in Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough, Ottawa, & Montreal.
Office now encourages you to share documents online, in a collaborative workspace. Collaboration in the cloud is the real difference with Office 2016. Start Project, and perform the following tasks:Create a new plan based on the Blank Project template.Set the new plan’s start date to January 8, 2018.Save the new plan as Simple Plan in the Project2016SBS\Ch03 folder.Set nonworking days in the project calendarThe scenario: At Lucerne Publishing, you need to account for an upcoming date on which the entire Lucerne staff will be unavailable to work on the book launch project. Continuing in the Simple Plan plan, perform the following task:In the project calendar, create a nonworking day calendar exception named Staff at morale event for January 25, 2018. Date First Available, October 8, 2014.Windows Terminal v.0.
Windows 10 users already have access to Microsoft’s own baked-in, totally free version of Office, the Office Mobile apps. Office 365 is $7 per month for a Personal plan (with one device installation) and $10 per month for a Home Plan, where Office can be installed on five devices and five phones.If you subscribe to Office 365, it’s a moot point those bits will stream down to your PC shortly. And to use all of the advanced features of Office, you must own some sort of Windows PC.You could still buy Office 2016 as a standalone product: It costs $149 for Office 2016 Home & Student (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote) and $229 for Office Home & Business, which adds Outlook 2016. But Microsoft’s brave new world runs best on Office 365, Microsoft’s subscription service, where everybody has the latest software that automatically updates over time. MicrosoftMicrosoft says its new collaborative workflow reflects how people do things now, from study groups to community centers on up to enterprise sales forces. Even emailing copies back and forth is now tacitly discouraged.
While ‘tell me’ takes you directly to a command, it doesn’t tell you where that command is located. What the ‘tell me’ box does, though, is simply to do what you tell it to.That’s both good and bad, in my book. You can also choose to look for help on that specific topic, or do a Smart Lookup search instead. If you’d like to know how to justify a group of cells, for example, you can begin typing ‘justify a group of cells.’ Excel will begin making suggestions that change as you continue typing.
You’ll also find Power Query, an Excel feature that lets you pull in “live” sources of data from databases and Web pages, or your own corporate data. Excel 2016 also adds the ability to forecast results, extrapolating revenue growth, for example, a few years down the road. I was also a little shocked to notice that Excel loaded only a handful of templates if I wasn’t connected.The look and feel of Excel 2016 remains largely unchanged from previous versions.Under the hood, numbers wonks are going to find lots to like in Excel 2016, with pivot tables that can handle dates, plus new charts and graphs that emphasize business intelligence—the new watchword for Excel. Instead of interacting with a document, Excel users now have a virtual workspace. Not only does it make more sense to post a link to an online workbook that others can use and manipulate, the complexity of these documents means emailing them back and forth simply isn’t practical.
In Word 2016, you get more—including options to translate the word or phrase, find synonyms, and so on. Microsoft’s particularly keen to sell users on one new feature: Smart Lookup, also known as Insights.Right-click a word or phrase in Word 2013, and a limited number of options pop up: a small formatting window, as well as options for spelling, linking the phrase, and checking grammar. I’m told, however, that changes are coming to each of these apps to enable Word’s real real-time collaboration.Word is the other tentpole application in Office, and it, too, is reassuringly the same for the most part. It’s also not clear whether Microsoft was able to to fix a bug that prevented Power Queries from being updated on the older Excel 2013 by the release date. What you’ll probably be happy to find is a hefty number of preformatted templates that allow you simply to plug in numbers, rather than creating a template from scratch.Note that Excel (and PowerPoint) use staggered, turn-by-turn, quasi-real-time collaboration. It learns from context, so if you keep writing it may self-correct errors.I’m not sure why Power Pivot, Power View, and Power Map—all tools that make up Microsoft’s business intelligence vision—are off by default (you can enable them in the Settings menu). MARK HACHMANYou have to write equations with a bit of care (note how Excel misinterprets the number ‘5’), but this new feature works pretty well.
But whereas Define used Bing to explain the word in question, Smart Lookup provides context: the definition, plus content from Wikipedia, Bing Image Search, Bing’s Web search, and more. With both the old Define and the new Smart Lookup, a right-hand pane provides additional information. Note that the attribution is automatically appended via Wikipedia.With Office 2016, Smart Lookup takes the Review > Define command from Word 2013 and supercharges it.
Even better, any image that appears in the pane can be clicked once to add it to the text, with attribution (and license info) automatically appended. Highlight a word or phrase and click the Wikipedia app, and a more robust version of Wikipedia opens up. Sadly, nothing like that is available.It’s somewhat weird, then, to discover that feature in Insert > Wikipedia, a Wikipedia app for Word that was built into my preview copy of Word 2016.

There’s also a big “Trust It” button that basically serves as a warning to download plugins at your own risk. A lack of Office apps or plug-ins is one thing, but you still can’t see what others have said about the apps in question. These are all nice touches.Not so nice is the portal to the Apps for Office store, which has not been updated for Office 2016.
(Permissions are built in, so you can send one link to view, and another to edit.) I found using a link was better for casual editing, as the recipient can simply open the document as a “guest” in Word Online, rather than needing to type in his or her Microsoft password. You can also eliminate all that and simply send a link. Then you invite one or a series of people to edit it, using the Share button, which opens up an in-app message box.
MARK HACHMANPowerPoint 2016 looks almost identical to PowerPoint 2013.Next page: Where PowerPoint falls short, and OneNote’s new approach.With PowerPoint, however, most of that goes out the window. Even if you’re offline, you can still monitor progress using Track Changes. You can also manually save whenever you’d like to create a version history that helps organize the document further. You can attach a comment to the document itself, or to a specific location in the text (which then shows up as an icon). That can be managed, however, by some relatively fine-grained editing restrictions, such as locking format changes, restricting a user to making only tracked changes, or by blocking him or her entirely (while letting other users make free, unrestricted edits).
(You can compare and reconcile versions of the same document that a coworker has worked upon separately, however, which is vaguely similar.) MARK HACHMANIn PowerPoint, you can still make changes and add comments, but the overall collaboration experience is slightly different than Word. But you can’t really manage their changes, or restrict what they can or can’t do. You can still comment, and coworkers can still make changes to the text as they wish.
