Using templates can help you prepare your project files, but be careful to address theunique needs of your project and organization.

Youcan also create your own Project 2010 templates by saving your file as a template usingthe Save As option from the File menu. Simply change the Save As Type option to Template.Project 2010 then gives the file an .mpt extension (Microsoft Project Template) toidentify the file as a template.In addition to using templates for Project 2010 files, it is helpful to use templates forother project documents and insert hyperlinks to them from Project 2010. For example,your organization might have templates for meeting agendas, project charters, statusreports, and project management plans. See the companion Web site for examples ofother template files. Next, you will create hyperlinks to some template files created inother applications.To insert a hyperlink within a Project 2010 file:1. Display the Entry table. Open the baseline.mpp file.
