Microsoft Project Help
I'll try and explain this as simple as possible.
I have a project with several tasks all linked. I'd like to copy most of those tasks (we'll call them paragraph 1)to appear in a space below and put a link in from the last task of "paragraph 1" to the 1st task in the copied "paragraph 2" if that makes sense..
That bit is an easy cut-and-paste.
The problem is that the dates in the copied part (paragraph 2) stay the same as the original (paragraph 1) even if I change the links around.
The only way I could do it was just to copy the task data without the links. Trouble is some of the links are complex which mean I'd have to re-type them all to refer to their new task numbers.
I need to ultimately make several copies of paragraph 1 to repeat below and it may take ages :
Can anyone help?

If I've understood correctly, can you not make the first element of paragraph 2 have a predecessor of the last task of paragraph 1, so that that group must be started after all of paragraph 1 is finished?
Or, if you roll each paragraph into an overall task, so a blank task directly above paragraph 1, select all of paragraph 1, press the "indent right" button. Similar for paragraph 2, then make the "empty" overall task of paragraph 2 have a predecessor of the "empty" overall task of paragraph 1?
Depends how dates are setup for sub tasks I think.
