How do I move multiple tasks in MS Project simultaneously?

How do I move multiple tasks in MS Project simultaneously? I need to be able
to move all tasks to accomodate a target date in the middle of the project.

Select them, then move them as if it were only one.

Let me clarify my original post...

I need to adjust the dates of several, not all, tasks. This will allow the
tail end of a project to slip a few days. I can not link the tasks together.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

First, sorry, by move I understood moving them around, place them elsewhere
in the sequence of tasks.

I now understand you want to change their start dates.
I can't but insist that that is not normal usage of Project, but anyway.
I suppose you want to place a start no earlier than constraint?
In that case select the tasks, click the Tak Information button on the
toolbar, and set the constraint.

OTOH, if you want to set a constraint based on "their current start date
plus a certain number of days" you will need a small VBA procedure.

Hope this helps,
