Chapter VI.4. Managing More Project Details

In This Chapter

• Mining project mail

• Following your project files

• Speeding up Project Center

• Finding files in Project Gallery

• Chilling with project contacts

• Avoiding Clippings

• Taking notes

• Working with the amazing Project Palette

Activities related to project e-mail and contacts are easy to watch over in Project Center. Managing the files that are associated with a project doesn't require a lot of work because Project Center keeps tabs on everything for you. In this chapter, you see that Project Center's e-mail, contacts, and notes work very similarly to the regular Entourage interface. But we point out the special differences that Project Center offers. We try to satisfy your curiosity about Clippings, and then show off the Project Center's crowning achievement: the Project Palette.

Viewing Project Mail

Take a peek at Project Center's Mail tab, as shown in Figure 4-1. You see hardly any difference at all between this tab and the Entourage Mail application, except for the lack of mailboxes!

The messages that you see in the messages list have been previously associated with the project you're currently working with. If messages reside in different folders, they still show up on Project Center's Mail tab as long as you associate these messages with your project.
