Microsoft Project 2010 : Work Breakdown Structure (part 1) - Work Breakdown Structure Concepts

You can create a WBS using Project, but it is often more useful to create the first iteration on a whiteboard because it will change multiple times before you are ready to finalize it.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Getting Started After the Business Initiative Is Approved - Organizing for Success

Much of your work will ultimately be reflected in a Microsoft Project schedule, but if you start that process before you are ready, you can end up with a project that is out of control. This is because Project was designed to help you manage the details of your project schedule—the activities, the calendars, the resources, and many other details that can be captured and managed.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Cleaning Up Documents - Setting Document Properties,Removing Personal Information , Reducing File Size

You can control when an animation takes place by using an animation timing, clicking an object, or specifying a bookmark in a video (New!). The Trigger button on the Animations tab allows you to select an On Click of or On Bookmark item.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Inserting Documents and Files (part 3) - Inserting a Scanner Printout on a Page

Scanning paper-based documents into OneNote is also an effective way to preserve sole-surviving copies of important documents, such as purchase receipts, signed legal forms, or contracts.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Inserting Documents and Files (part 2) - Inserting a File Printout on a Page

An alternate way to import content from a file on your computer into OneNote is to make it appear on your notes page like a printout on paper. This ensures that there’s no confusion between an imported copy of a file and its original version on your hard drive, because the imported copy appears as a static image that cannot be edited.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Inserting Documents and Files (part 1) - Inserting a Copy of a File on a Page

The easiest way to keep existing content from a computer file together with your notes is to insert a copy of the file on a page in your notebook.

Just below the web address in the ToolTip, you’ll also see the instruction to hold the Ctrl button if you want to click and follow the link from the picture. This intentional link activation isn’t meant to make life more difficult for you.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Working with Links (part 1) - Creating a Link from Typed Text,Creating a Link from Selected Text

While typing notes on a page in your notebook, you can quickly and easily have OneNote create a hyperlink by including certain parts of a link URL (short for uniform resource locator, better known as a web address that you type into a web browser).

Microsoft Access 2010 : Relating the Information in Your Database - Establishing Relationships in Access

To open the Relationships window, you must select Relationships from the Relationships group on the Database Tools tab of the Ribbon.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Relating the Information in Your Database - The Types of Relationships

Three types of relationships can exist between tables in a database: one to many, one to one, and many to many. Setting up the proper type of relationship between two tables in a database is imperative.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Distributing Templates and Stencils (part 2) - Creating a Separate Stencil for Shape and Code Delivery

Having VBA code in a template has the drawback that the code is copied and saved with every drawing that is created. This is not only wasteful, but makes updating the code nearly impossible.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Distributing Templates and Stencils (part 1) - Creating a Template with a Document Stencil

Most Visio templates open several stencils that are separate files. This is great if a template needs access to lots of shapes and stencils. However, for solutions that need only a few master shapes, it makes sense to put these masters in the local document stencil.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Introducing Automation and VBA Code (part 3) - Calling VBA Code from a SmartShape

An interesting feature of the CreateNewNote subroutine is the code used to get and set values from the ShapeSheet. The Cells method takes a string argument that matches the name of a cell in the ShapeSheet. In this way, shp.Cells gives you access to the entire ShapeSheet.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Introducing Automation and VBA Code (part 2) - Using the Macro Recorder to Generate Code

The Immediate window allows you to quickly try bits of code, and the IntelliSense drop-down lists make it even easier to discover functions for Visio objects.

You’ve seen that the ShapeSheet is a nifty tool you can use to turn your Visio shapes into intelligent graphical mechanisms. For some tasks, using a programming language is more appropriate. Luckily, Visio has a built in development environment, just like other applications in the Microsoft Office suite.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Introduction to Relational Database Design (part 2) - Normalization and Normal Forms

Some of the most difficult decisions that you face as a developer are what tables to create and what fields to place in each table, and how to relate the tables that you create.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Introduction to Relational Database Design (part 1) - Rules of Relational Database Design

Each table in a system must store data about a single entity. An entity usually represents a real-life object or event. Examples of objects are customers, employees, and inventory items. Examples of events include orders, appointments, and doctor visits

Developing Custom Microsoft Visio 2010 Solutions : Creating SmartShapes with the ShapeSheet (part 6) - Adding Right-Click Actions to the SmartShape

The notes shape is still missing the two right-click actions : one to open a Shape Data dialog and one to call some custom code. You can set up both of them now and then transition into the section about VBA programming to make the second item actually work.

Developing Custom Microsoft Visio 2010 Solutions : Creating SmartShapes with the ShapeSheet (part 5) - Modifying the Text Block Using the ShapeSheet

You could use the Text Block tool to make the text block less wide, but it would still size proportionally when we stretched the shape and wouldn’t line up properly. The text block needs to be exactly as wide as the arrow subshape. To do this requires the ShapeSheet.

Developing Custom Microsoft Visio 2010 Solutions : Creating SmartShapes with the ShapeSheet (part 4) - Linking Subshape Text to Shape Data Fields

By linking the size and position of the subshapes to user-defined parameters, our notes shape behaves graphically correct when resized. Now we need to attend to the text.
