Copy pasting and leveling tasks

[anonymous]

I know MSPJ may encounter errors when pasting tasks from
existing workplans (especially those with actual data) to
new ones, so we decided only to copy only task names and
paste them to a blank workplan.

All tasks paste properly, but they all have the same
outline level, so all of the previous task
indenting/outdenting disappeared.

I KNOW I was able to do this previously, but for the life
of me I forgot: How or what do you copy that will allow
the tasks to re-level themselves like the previous
workplan? I thought it was the Outline Level column, but
copy-pasting that doesn't work, for some reason the data
won't paste. WBS doesn't adjust the task levels. Would
greatly appreciate some help.

Hi anonymous,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Why not take a copy of you existing project, delete all existing actuals and
all tasks/resources you don't want, and use that as the "template" for your
new project?
