Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Saving project options for individual projects, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
- Some Project options apply…to your installation of Project,…which means they show up…no matter which Project file you open.…Other options apply to specific projects.…In that case you need to choose…the project your settings apply to.…Let's head to the File tab.…On the lefthand side down at the bottom, click Options…to open the Project Options dialog box.…It opens up to the General category.…If you look closely,…you'll see that there's no mention whatsoever…about choosing a Project file.…
All of these settings are program-wide settings,…things like your User name, the Initials that you use,…the Default view that you want to see…when you create a new project.…For example let's change the Default view to Gantt Chart.…Now whenever you create a new project,…it's gonna open up to Gantt Chart.…These program-wide settings…are saved in your Global Template…so they're going to apply to all your projects.…
Let's go ahead and click OK.…Now we're gonna go back to the File tab,…but this time I'm gonna click the Organizer button.…
