sion 7. Alternatively, select File − Open Project from the menu bar to display the Open
Project Dialog Box, and then select and open the project file from there.
Note: If another project file is already open in the same window, and there were changes
made to it, then performing the operation above will display a dialog box asking
whether to save the changes to the project file.
• Saving a Project File
A project file can be saved so that it overwrites the previous version. Select File − Save
Project from the menu bar. A message will be displayed asking you to wait while the
project file is being saved. The edited project file is saved by overwriting the previous ver-
sion of it. To save the project file with a different name, select File − Save as a New
Project from the menu bar.
• Closing a Project File
To close a project file, select File − Close Project from the menu bar. Alternatively,
select Close from the Project Menu on the Start Tab Page.
If you forget the password that you set, there is no way to recover it, and it will be impossible to
open the password-protected project file. Therefore, if you set a password, make sure you do not
forget it.
