- 1). Download a free trial of Project or open your copy and pull down the "Help" menu on the top toolbar. Explore the in-program help guides such as a table of contents of subjects, an index and a searchable database.
- 2). Enroll in a local community college course on Project, such as the Microsoft Project 2007 class at North Carolina's Wake Technical Community College. Courses are short-term, may be held in the evening and usually have no prerequisites. You'll learn project phases, building projects and managing a project through completion.
- 3). Purchase a text book such as the "Microsoft Office Project 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies" by Elaine Marmel and Nancy C. Muir, "Microsoft Project 2007: The Missing Manual" by Bonnie Biafore, "Microsoft Office Project 2007 Step by Step" by Carl S. Chatfield and Timothy D. Johnson or "Microsoft Office Project 2007 Inside Out" by Teresa S. Stover. Select a book that offers many step-by-step tutorials and plenty of screenshots.
- 4). Review the free training options available on the Microsoft Project Train & Learn website, including video tutorials, help guides, a list of tips and tricks, a list of books and a searchable database of in-classroom training events.
- 5). Attend a Microsoft Project 2010 training course. While the course will likely focus on the latest version of Project, you'll still be able to pick up quite a few applicable bits of information for Project 2007. You can even contact your instructors ahead of time to let them know you're learning 2007.
