So you are using Project and you need the analysis toolbar, however it’s not showing up with the rest of the toolbars. There are a few reasons why this could be happening such as any problems which occurred during the installation of the Component Object Module add-ins. However, despite the number of problems which could be causing the toolbar to not show up, there is just one resolution to all of them.

Step 1:

To install the Analysis toolbar, you have to manually turn off the COM add-ins used by the toolbar, and then turn them back on.

To start, open Project and go to the ‘View’ tab at the top of the page, go to ‘Toolbars before selecting ‘Customize’.

Select the Commands tab and in the Categories box, click All Commands.

In the Commands box, select the ComAddInsDialog command and hold down the left mouse button to drag it to one of the toolbars currently displayed in the Project window.

A line will then appear on the toolbar, indicating where the button for the command will be placed. Release the mouse button to add the ComAddInsDialog command to the toolbar.

Click Close on the Customize dialog box.

Click COM Add-Ins on the toolbar where it was added.

Clear each of the check boxes for the Adjust Dates, Copy Picture to Office, and PERT Analysis add-ins, and then click OK.

Click COM Add-Ins again.

Select the check boxes for the Adjust Dates, Copy Picture to Office, and PERT Analysis add-ins, and then click OK.

On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Analysis to display the Analysis toolbar

Last week one of the Infero’s trainers had to deliver a Microsoft Project 2007 Intermediate course. We deliver many of these courses. So what was special about this one?

 
Well, Infero’s trainer Suada flew to Guernsey on a private jet of one of our prestigious customers to deliver the training. This is what Suada says about her experience.

‘That was awesome. The trip from the beginning till the end was very pleasant. People were very nice taking care of me from the beginning of the flight, while I was delivering training and on my return back. I hope they enjoyed the training and took something useful from it. I certainly enjoyed it a lot. I’ve learned about the history of our client, understood more about operation of the company and met lovely people.’

We might not need to fly to you, however we are always here to provide high-quality training courses if you need one.

Okay, so you have a schedule all drawn up for your daily routine but the only trouble is that you keep being distracted by fellow employees asking you questions, making conversation, making comments or completing more tasks to your originally well planned out schedule. All these distractions can dramatically impact on your Time Management and throw your schedule into disarray. What you need is one of Infero’s Effective Time Management Training Courses.

If this is the case in the office, you could try using some headphones to give the people around the picture that you are busy and that you don’t want to be disturbed.  To eliminate any background noise present in the office, you could use some music through the headphones which will help drown out the background noise and help keep you focused on task. Also any Instant Messaging Clients active on your computer should be set to Busy so that other people are aware that you are unable to talk at that particular time. Another handy tip to use in an office environment is to make a ‘Do not disturb’ sign to hang by your workspace to alert people to the fact that you do not wanted to be disturbed.

In the case of having extra jobs offered to you, you need give a firm but polite refusal in order for you to complete any tasks you are working on at the moment. A polite yet firm refusal such as ‘I’m sorry but I can’t work on any more projects at the moment’ is much better than a reluctant acceptance for both parties as it means your schedule is unaffected and that the request can be completed by somebody who can give it their full attention.
