Once you have added some tasks to the project task list, OfficeTalk will let you plan the tasks. Planning a task means assigning a planned start time and duration to the task. You can plan a task in one of two ways:
| Action | Description |
| Drag and Drop. | Drag the task from the Task List and drop it into the Project Window. The position at which you drop the task determines the task's planned start time. The planned duration will default to one day. You can change this by stretching the rectangle representing the task in the Project Window. |
| From the Project Task property sheet. | Double click on the task that you wish to plan. The Project Task property sheet is displayed. Check the Planned Check box and enter a planned start date and duration. Press OK to save your changes. |
