This document provides an overview and instructions for exercises using content types and the document information panel in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. The objectives are to demonstrate how to define custom properties for a document library and how the document information panel is used to enter those properties when saving a new document. The first task is to create a new document library called "Status Reports" and define custom columns for properties like project name. The second task is to save a new document to demonstrate how the document information panel displays those custom properties for entry.
