If you are using the Standard version of Microsoft Project 2007, you can enter resources in your project using View - Resource ***. Simply type the names of your resources, along with other relevant information, such as the Standard Rate. Hope this helps.

OK then...back to the original question but asked differently-
Do I need Project Server to set up resources? Can I assign specific tasks to
different employees (Resources)with this trial version of MicrosoftOffice
Project?

The tutorials and help that I have read through takes me through the tools
menu-
When I open the enterprise options in the tools menu the only option that is
available to me at that point is Microsoft office project server accounts-
The others are greyed out. These are the options that I understand I need to
get through in order to add resources-

If you are not using Project Server 2007, then ignore my last response. I
thought you were using Project Server 2007 because you used a Project Server
term ("enterprise resource pool") in your original question.
