How to Use Microsoft Project Gallery

Locate Microsoft Project Gallery in the program 'Doc' or in the 'Applications' folder (Image 1), and click to open it. This will bring up the Project Gallery window.
2.
Click the 'Settings' button at the top of the of the Project Gallery window. Image 2 shows the various preferences that can be set, such as the 'Startup' and 'Default' tab. You can select the types of documents to be shown in the gallery. If you are aware of 'Workgroup' templates available on your local network, go to Step 3. Otherwise, skip to Step 4.
3.
Click the link for 'Workgroup' templates to bring up a dialogue box. Navigate to the location of the folder containing the 'Workgroup' templates, and click 'Choose' at the bottom of the dialogue box (Image 3).
4.
Click 'OK' at the bottom of the Project Gallery window. This will close the Project Gallery window. Once it has closed completely, reopen it using the information in Step 1, then proceed directly to Step 5.
5.
Click the 'New' button at the top of the Project Gallery. The 'New,' 'Recent' and 'Project Center' screens all have a similar configuration. The difference in the pages is merely content. For ease of discussion, this tutorial will focus on the functions using the 'New' page as the example. See Image 5 for the key elements that will be discussed.
6.
Click the 'Blank Documents' category on the left side of the screen to reveal the numerous project wizards and document types that can be selected. Double-clicking any of the items will initialize the respective function. The categories displayed in Image 6 can be viewed in different formats depending on the option selected in three boxes above the 'Category' list.
7.
Click on the 'Search' field (Image 7). Typing in a letter will automatically reveal document types or wizards with that letter in the title. You can narrow the search by making the term more specific. The number of results can also be narrowed by changing the document types shown in Image 7.
