Project Gallery in Office Macintosh

When you first start any Office Macintosh program, the first thing you may see is the Project Gallery window. The Project Gallery allows you to access any Office document from any Office program. For example, you could open a Word document even though you have started Excel. The [Category] list along the left side of the Gallery displays the documents and templates that you have available to you on the right side of the window (the display area).

	Project Gallery Office X

Do you want the Project Gallery to appear when you start up an Office program?

• Office 2001 Macintosh
  • The default setting is for the each Office program to start with the Project Gallery. If you do not want the Project Gallery to appear when you start up one of the Office programs, you can turn it off by clicking the <Do not show at startup> check box at the bottom of the window (not shown in picture above).
• Office X Macintosh
  • The default setting is for the each Office program to not start with the Project Gallery. If you do want the Project Gallery to appear when you start up one of the Office programs, you can click the <Show Project Gallery at startup> check box at the bottom of the window.

You make this selection for each program, so it is possible to have the Gallery show when you start up one program but not another. You can also turn it on or off by choosing EditPreferences (Office 2001) or WordPreferences (Office X)

Even if turned off, the Gallery is always available to you in all Office programs at any time. 
Choose FileProject Gallery (Cmd+Shift+P) to display if and when needed.
