About the Paste Special Command

Use Paste Special for precise control over copying and pasting tasks and resources. The Paste Special command behaves like the Paste command, but provides you with capabilities beyond the default paste behavior. Use the Paste Special dialog box to use Paste Special.

Note: The options available on the Paste Special dialog box depend on the object you choose to copy and paste. Only options that pertain to your copy selection are active on the Paste Special dialog box.

Note: To copy and paste interproject dependencies, you must first save the original and target project.

To use Paste Special

1. In the project from which you want to copy data, right-click the object(s) you want to copy and select Copy from the shortcut menu.

   The data is copied to the clipboard.

2. In the target project, place the cursor at the point where you want to paste the copied object(s), and right-click and select Paste Special from the shortcut menu.

   The Paste Special dialog box opens.

3. Select the appropriate options and click OK.

   The Paste Special dialog box closes.
