Insert important tasks from projects into another project

[JaneH]

I have approximately 10 other departments and partner companies that run
thier own projects. Within each of these projects there are about 20-30
important tasks that I would like to put into another top level project plan
so that I can monitor them. Is there a quick way to do this (e.g. making
sure that the names are consistent) or is it a matter of copy and paste?

Hi Jane,

Copying and pasting lmmaybe questionable since these task may have
dependencies from other tasks that you do not copy; so their dates could
change!

If they have an identifyable property (such as the name but might as well be
a text or a flag field) to me the surest way is to insert them all into a
common prpekject (a so-called master project) and therein filter on this
common property to only show what you want to see.
