Project Summary Task

When pasting tasks from an old to a new project, if the Project Summary Task is also copied, upon pasting it becomes a regular task.
Can this be promoted back to a Project Summary Task?

RE: Project Summary Task

Hi David

The project summary task is created for you by Project. As such you won't be able to promote a task to become the summary task. I think your best approach would just be to rename the newly created project summary task and delete the one which became a regular task. Sorry I couldn't help you further. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
