Chapter 1: Project Management: What It Is, and Why You Should Care
Getting Help from Project
If you can get to work without mishap and turn on your computer, you
probably know how to use a help system in software, too. Table 1-1 offers a
rundown of the types of help you can find in Project 2010 when you click the
Help button just above the right end of the Ribbon or when you press F1.
