Opening Project Gallery from Notebook View?

P

Prometheus

When in Notebook view, how do you access Project Gallery if you want to open
a regular Word document? Under File there is only an option to create a new
notebook.

(Yes, I know the Project Gallery icon can be added to the Dock, but I was
looking for a way to just jump and create a regular document from Notebook.)

The same way as from any other view. File/Project Gallery. It's at the top
of the menu, above New Notebook Document. Or shift-command-P. I can't see
how it could possibly be any easier. You can open a regular Word doc from
there.

To skip the Project Gallery and go right to New Blank Document in Normal
View, I think you'd need to do it by Macro, which could be given a button,
keyboard shortcut and/or menu item.

Ok, for some reason, in Notebook layout, I do not have that menu option, nor
does Project Gallery show up in the File menu.

Nope, I don¹t have that option in Notebook layout. The first option in File
is New Notebook Document.

Have you tried using Paul's suggestion to launch the Project Gallery using
Shift-Cmd-P? I've just had a look at the notebook view, and I can see the
Project Gallery, it's the first item in the File menu. If you can't, there
are still other possibilities.
One would be to switch to normal or page layout view. Once you've done that,
creating a new document (through the toolbar icon, File>New Blank Document
or Cmd-N) should create a new, "regular" Word document. I'm not sure if that
is recommendable, though, maybe someone else does.
Last but not least, since you don't seem to be able to access the Project
Gallery, know that there is a proper application called Project Gallery
Launcher, located in Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office. This
application launches independently from other Office applications, and you
can, if you want to, drag it into your dock and simply launch it from there.
Hope this was helpful.

There must be something wrong with your Normal template. I could suggest an
easy fix like going to Tools/Customize. mad simply dragging Project Gallery
from the File commands to the File menu (you'll see a special toolbar just
below the menu bar that lets you drag command icons to menus). But frankly,
it should be there already and you might just be compounding the corruption
by doing this. Much better to repair/replace the Normal template.

Hey, you don't perhaps have Word 5.1 for Macintosh selected in
Tools/Customize/Toolbars, do you? Or some Word 5.1 (or other) options in
Preferences/Compatibility? If so, turn them off.

If not, quit Word, go to Microsoft User Data folder in ~/Documents/ and find
Normal. Rename it (to anything) - just in case it has other customizations
(macros, etc.) you may need and that you can later extract. When you open
Word, it will make a clean new default Normal template and you menu item
should be back. If still not, quit Word again and remove
com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
(~/ means your OS X user folder.) You'll lose all your other preferences,
and, frankly, I don't think this will help, but try. Worst come to worst,
you can remove the whole Microsoft folder and lose all your prefs in all
Office apps. But I don't think this will be necessary.

Paul, your genius never ceases to amaze me! Fixing the Normal template added
it back on. I guess it can¹t be added to the Notebook layout toolbar, eh?
(Can that toolbar be customized at all??)

Thanks again!
