master projects with multiple

W

I am having trouble working out the best way to organise multiple Subprojects
and integrating this into a Master project. The subprojects are structured
the same way as the master project, but I am not easily able to insert the
subprojects in the Master project without significant manual manipulation of
the subproject.

Here is the simplified conceptual example:

--Project: Cook Meal
1. Prepare ingredients
a) Potato Mash
b) Steak
2. Follow recipe
a) Potato Mash
b) Steak
3. Serve food
a) Potato Mash
b) Steak

-Subproject 1: Potato mash
1. Prepare ingredients
a) Chop potatos
b) Measure cream
2. Follow recipe
a) Cook potatos
b) Mix with cream
c) Mash
3. Serve food
a) Put in bowl

-Subproject 2: Steak
1. Prepare ingredients
a) Marinate steak
2. Follow recipe
a) Cook steak
3. Serve food
a) Put on plate

Please let me know if you need more clarification on my problem. Thanks for
your help in advanced,

Walter

If you want to use a sub-project for all Potato tasks, then they have to
appear together. You can't have one task from a sub-project appear under one
summary and another sub-task appear elsewhere in the Master project
interspersed with sub-tasks from other sub-projects. You need to have
sub-projects Prepare ingredients, Follow recipe and Server food, each with
Potato tasks.
