Getting started with Inventor .ipj, project files, etc.

[IlliniDawn]

I will be the very first Inventor user at company I just started with, therefore I've been tasked with setting everything up.  Note: They hope that future employees will learn/know Inventor. 

So besides creating a new .ipj project file on a common drive for all to use and storing all new files (parts, assemblies, drawings, etc.) there, is there anything else I need to do to get started?  Is there any online help to get me set up?  This is probably a very loaded question, I just don't know where to start. 

Side note: I have a basic understanding on how to create templates and work with the syles editor, but I know that I need to get this project file set up first and just don't remember the right way to do it.

Any recommendations and all help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
