Copy Main task and all sub indents?

[Tim_Ver]

I need to copy a main task and all sub tasks(indented under it) to a
blank new task line. What is the best way to do this? I have version 2003.

Thanks

Hi Tim_Ver,

Select the summary task, copy and paste. The subtasks will be copied as
well.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Tim,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Click the minus sign next to the summary task to close down the sub-tasks.
Now click in the summary task ID cell to select it all. Now click and drag,
hoding dowm the Crtl key to get a copy. You might like to have a look at my
series on Microsoft Project in the TechTrax ezine, particularly #4 -

I did try this I select task right click copy and the click on the new blank
task cell and paste but it just paste the text and no minus/plus sign hence
no sub tasks.

Arghh , Not sure why or what I am missing.

Hi Tim,

Make sure you select the task by clicking on the row number, not just
the task name.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
