This book has been superceeded by 99 Tricks and Traps for Microsoft
Project 365 and 2021: A Casual User Guide Including 2019, 2016 and 2013,
ISBN 9781925185881.
This book quickly gets down to the issues that many people grapple with
when trying to use some of the more advanced features of the software
and enlightens readers on the traps that some users fall into and how to
avoid them. It demonstrates how the software ticks and explains some
tricks that may be used to become more productive with the software and
generate better schedules.
Suitable for people who understand the basics of Microsoft Project but
want a short guide to give them insight into the less intuitive features
of the software. It is packed with screen shots, constructive tips and
is written in plain English. The book is based on the Microsoft Project
2013, 2016 and 2019 but may be used with earlier versions of Microsoft
Project as this book points out the differences where appropriate.
The book picks out many of the key aspects from the author's exiting
books and adds a substantial amount of new and original text to produce
a pocket guide that omits describing the intuitive and obvious functions
and concentrates on the issues that many users get stuck on or find hard
to understand.
