Microsoft Project - Tables - Copy Existing Tables

Copy an existing table 

When a new table is required the new option can be selected from the More Tables dialog box, but then every field would need to be added, chances are that one of the existing tables would probably provide a good basis to the new table so that fields such as the ID field and task names don’t need to be added.

1. Select the table to be copied.

2. Click on the Copy button.




As default the name of the new table is Copy of xxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the original table name.  The new table needs to be given a new name.

If the new table needs a menu shortcut key, then type an ampersand before the letter you wish to have as the shortcut key.  This underlines the letter in the menu system

Is the new table going to be one that is used regularly?  If it does, then tick the Show in menu tick box.  Otherwise the new table can be accessed via the  More Tables dialog box.
