Maintain formatting of sub project when inserted into master proje

[FionaDM]

I'm using Project 2007. I have a master project and have inserted some
sub-projects into the master project. ('Link to project' was checked which is
what I want.)

I had applied formatting to the original sub-projects' gantt charts task
bars e.g. sub-project1 task bars were green, sub-project2 task bars were red
etc.
I found that this formatting was lost after inserting the sub-projects into
the master. The sub-projects assumed the formatting settings of the master.
Is there a way to maintain sub-project formatting?
Thanks

FionaDM,
The simple answer is no. However, you can use the organizer to transfer
view formatting from a subproject to the master. It means of course that
you won't be able to transfer multiple subproject view formatting if
each subproject is a little different but consistency among all
subproject is probably a better approach anyway.

On the other hand if you're into extensive format customizing your only
option is to painstakingly replicate that formatting in the master.
