Merge cells

Merging combines two or more cells to create a new, larger cell. This is a great way to create a label that spans several columns. For example, here cells A1, B1, and C1 were merged to create the label "Monthly Sales" to describe the information in rows 2 through 7.

1. Click the first cell and press Shift while you click the last cell in the range you want to merge.

   Important: Make sure only one of the cells in the range has data.

1. Click Home > Merge & Center.

If Merge & Center is dimmed, make sure you're not editing a cell or the cells you want to merge aren't inside a table.

Tip:  To merge cells without centering the data, click the merged cell and then click the left, center or right alignment options next to Merge & Center.

If you change your mind, you can always undo the merge by clicking the merged cell and clicking Merge & Center.

Create a brochure in PowerPoint Online

Making a brochure like this while you're online is quick and easy. 

Choose one of our brochure templates, and open it in an Office Online program to make it yours (some brochures are for editing in PowerPoint Online; others work in Word Online).

Tip: If you're already in PowerPoint Online, get to the brochure templates by going to File > New, and then below the template images click More on Office.com.

You'll be on the Templates for PowerPoint page. In the list of categories, click Brochures.

As you work on the brochure, you'll probably want to rename it and swap out the placeholder pictures with pictures that work for you. To do that, right-click the picture you don't want, click Change Picture, and choose a different picture.

Share your brochure

When you're finished, print it out or share it online. You can do this with the brochure still open in PowerPoint Online. No need to save it first (that's already done for you).

Print it

To print it, press Ctrl+P, wait for the Print dialog, and then click the link for opening a PDF version of your calendar. From there, use the PDF program's Print command.

Share it

To share it online, send a link:

1. Near the top of the screen, click Share.

2. Under Share, click Get a Link.

   

3. Under Choose an option, click View only.

   

4. Click Create Link.

5. Click on the web address to select it, and then copy and paste it into an email, message, or post.

Tip: If you have a blog or website, you can embed a view of your brochure there.

History of project management

It is tempting to think of project management as a modern discipline, but its major concepts have their roots in the late nineteenth century. Read this article to learn the story of how modern management theory was influenced by over a century's worth of scientific, social, and business methodologies.

Overview

Project management, in its modern form, began to take root only a few decades ago. Starting in the early 1960s, businesses and other organizations began to see the benefit of organizing work around projects. This project-centric view of the organization evolved further as organizations began to understand the critical need for their employees to communicate and collaborate while integrating their work across multiple departments and professions and, in some cases, whole industries.

Today, the basic precepts of project management are represented by the project triangle, a symbol popularized by Harold Kerzner in his landmark work, Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling.

The early years: Late nineteenth century

We can travel back even further, to the latter half of the nineteenth century, when the business world was becoming increasingly complex, to see how project management evolved from basic management principles. Large-scale government projects were the impetus for making important decisions that became the basis for project management methodology. In the United States, for example, the first truly large government project was the transcontinental railroad, which began construction in the 1860s. Suddenly, business leaders found themselves faced with the daunting task of organizing the manual labor of thousands of workers and the processing and assembly of unprecedented quantities of raw material.

Early twentieth century

Near the turn of the century, Frederick Taylor (1856–1915) began his detailed studies of work. He applied scientific reasoning to work by showing that labor can be analyzed and improved by focusing on its elementary parts. He applied his thinking to tasks found in steel mills, such as shoveling sand and lifting and moving parts. Before then, the only way to improve productivity was to demand harder work and longer hours from workers. Taylor introduced the concept of working more efficiently, rather than working harder and longer. The inscription on Taylor's tomb in Philadelphia attests to his place in the history of management: "The father of scientific management."

Taylor's associate, Henry Gantt (1861–1919), studied in great detail the order of operations in work. His studies of management focused on navy ship construction during World War I. His Gantt Charts, complete with task bars and milestone markers, outline the sequence and duration of all tasks in a process. Gantt Chart diagrams proved to be such a powerful analytical tool for managers that they remained virtually unchanged for almost a hundred years. It wasn't until the early 1990s that Microsoft Office Project first added link lines to these task bars, depicting more precise dependencies between tasks.

Over the years, Microsoft Office Project packed even more information into the lines, such as progress lines against a baseline, variances, and lines depicting status progress at a particular point in time.

Today, Henry Gantt's legacy is remembered by a medal given out in his name by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Taylor, Gantt, and others helped make project management a distinct business function that requires study and discipline. In the decades leading up to World War II, marketing approaches, industrial psychology, and human relations began to take hold as integral parts of project management.

Mid-twentieth century

During World War II, complex government and military projects and a shrinking war-time labor supply demanded new organizational structures. Complex network diagrams, called PERT charts and the critical path method were introduced, giving managers more control over massively engineered and very complex projects (such as military weapon systems with their huge variety of tasks and numerous interactions at many points in time).

Soon, these techniques spread to all kinds of industries as business leaders sought new management strategies and tools to handle their growth in a quickly changing and competitive world. In the early 1960s, businesses began to apply general system theories to business interactions. In their book, The Theory and Management of Systems, Richard Johnson, Fremont Kast, and James Rosenzweig described how a modern business is like a human organism, with a skeletal system, a muscular system, circulatory system, nervous system, and so on.

Today

This view of business as a human organism implies that for a business to survive and prosper, all its functional parts must work in concert toward specific goals, or projects. In decades since the 1960s, this approach toward project management began to take root in its modern forms. While various business models evolved during this period, they all shared a common underlying structure: a project manager manages the project, puts together a team, and ensures the integration and communication of the workflow horizontally across different departments.

Within the last ten years, project management has continued to evolve. Two significant trends are emerging:

• Bottom-up planning     This trend emphasizes simpler project designs, shorter project cycles, efficient collaboration among team members, stronger team member involvement and decision making. This trend is broadly known as agile project management, and includes a number or related methodologies, such as Scrum, Crystal, Extreme Programming, Unified Process, and many others.

• Top-down planning and reviewing     This trend is characterized by enterprise-wide decision making about the portfolio of projects that an organization should have, as well as by enabling data-mining technologies to make information in the portfolio more transparent.

Keyboard shortcuts in OneNote Web App

The keyboard shortcuts that are described in this Help topic refer to the U.S. keyboard layout. Keys on other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.

For keyboard shortcuts in which you press two or more keys simultaneously, the keys to press are separated by a plus sign (+). For keyboard shortcuts in which you press one key immediately followed by another key, the keys to press are separated by a comma (,).
