The URL given for the book's errata page is easy to misread. The capital letter 'I' which appears after the 'k' in the word 'LinkId' is easy to mistake for a lowercase 'L'.
Change:
"go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=191765"

"http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=191765"

2nd graphic |
The second graphic illustration is incorrect compared to the resulting action taken in Project 2010.
The illustration should show the result of dragging the Gantt bar for task1 to task5 with a result of finish to start relationship. The image shows the resulting line at the finish of task1 and the start of task5.
The action in Project 2010 results in an arrow from the end of task1 to the end of task5 still labeling it as finish to start.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Step 11 on page 40 and the following paragraph on page 41.
Current:
11. In the chart portion of the Gantt Chart view, point the mouse pointer at the Gantt bar for task 1, Planning Phase, and then click and drag to the Gantt bar for task 5, Public Launch Phase.
When the mouse pointer is over task 5, note the link line and icon that appear. Release the mouse pointer.
Revised:
11. In the chart portion of the Gantt Chart view, point the mouse pointer at the Gantt bar for task 1, Planning Phase. Click and drag down and to the right to the Gantt bar for task 5, Public Launch Phase, and release the mouse over the task 5 bar.
Remove the following paragraph on the top of page 41:
"When the mouse pointer is over task 5, note the link line and icon that appear, release the mouse pointer." |

Second paragraph after "Guided Tour: Synchronizing Task Lists Between Project and SharePoint (Project Professional only)" |
Current:
In both cases, the tasks in SharePoint behave like manually scheduled tasks; you can enter a start date and deadline for the tasks, but no active scheduling occurs. When a SharePoint task list is then synchronized with Project, the resulting tasks in Project are manually scheduled tasks. In Project, you can convert them to automatic scheduling and perform whatever task scheduling activities you wish, such as linking tasks, changing durations, and so on. However when you then synchronize from Project to SharePoint, the tasks in Project are converted back to manually scheduled tasks.
Revised:
In a Project Tasks list in SharePoint the tasks behave like manually scheduled tasks; you can track progress on a task or add new tasks, but no active scheduling occurs. When the SharePoint task list is synchronized with Project, you can then use the full range of scheduling features in Project, such as linking tasks, changing durations, and so on.
