Project Guide Architecture and Extensibility

The Project Guide in Microsoft® Office Project 2003 includes three main user interface components:

• The Project Guide toolbar is a command bar for top-level navigation that contains buttons for the main areas of the Project Guide.
• The side pane displays tasks within each area of the Project Guide and provides instructions on how to carry out the activities. Actions in the side pane affect the views and information displayed in the main view area.
• The main view area is the primary area for viewing and editing project information and is where users perform their work. The views and pages displayed depend on the task the user is following in the side pane.

This section includes the following topics:

• Elements of the Project Guide
• Turning Off the Project Guide
• Project Guide Architecture
• Content Displayed in the Project Guide
• Defining the Project Guide
• Displaying Web Pages inside of Project
