Copying Task in Gantt Chart

Hi,

when I copy and paste a task in Gantt Chart view, the colour of the bar doesn't copy over - it defaults to blue.

Is there any way I can copy the formatting over?

Many Thanks in Advance

Martin

RE: Copying Task in Gantt Chart

Hi Martin

I've checked and unfortunately Project will only copy/paste the formatting of the bars in the same project. If you copy and then paste to a new project the formatting reverts back to the default (generally blue) colour.

Thanks

Andrew
