You can create projects in the task pane
Hi Mike,
I just tried this and it looks like you can create projects in the task pane:
File - New - Task
Select "Projects" from the "Action" drop-down list
Type the name for your project in the "Subject" box
Save & Close
It now also shows up in Project Central.
As an aside, you can also create projects in any of the "Project" drop-down menus (e.g. on the "File in Folder" dialog etc.) by selecting "Add New Project".
Cheers,
Toby
