Gantt and Sheet Cut, Copy and Paste

ProjectManager supports cut, copy and paste on the Gantt and sheet views. You can cut or copy a task from:

• From an external source

• From one project to another or

• From one row to another on one project

If you cut or copy a summary task, the summary task (and all of the subtasks) will be highlighted. In addition to the task name, all of the task data that has been input will be cut as well. You can paste tasks using the ribbon bar or a keyboard shortcut.

If your project includes blank rows, or you paste from an external source that includes blank rows, the blank rows will be retained on pasting the row.

If you're working in the sheet view and you need to copy tasks, keep in mind that you will only be able to select and copy 200 rows at a time. You'll see this popup appear.
