What in the world are you taking about? Where is this mistake? If you
don't explicitly state where the mistake is and how to get there, then I
doubt Microsoft will ever take seriously your suggestion. Why don't you
post the exact steps you took to find the mistake?

The page where the mistake is located is: Training>Project>Dig deeper into
scheduling>Why would you turn off efforft-driven scheduling.
The electronic link is:
http://office.microsoft.com/trainin...ID=RP010784001033&CTT=6&Origin=RC010779041033
On the diagram shown in that page the values 80 and 160 are misplaced, they
should be switched.
The diagram shows that if the effort driven scheduling is turned off and the
manager decides to assign an additionnal ressource the work effort is reduced
to 80. That should be 160 since the amount of work has increased, whereas it
should be 80 when only one ressource is assigned.
I hope this is clear enough, do not hesitate to reply.

I believe the numbers should be 160 for the first illustration and 320 for
the second illustration, with one computer in the first illustration and two
computers in the second one. One person working full-time for 4 weeks
generates 160 hours of work. Two people working full-time for 4 weeks is
320 hours of work. Thanks for your suggestion.
