Copying Rows

I'm in the process of setting up custom filters to use in one big master
schedule. Previously we used 5 different schedule files, one for each dept.
Now I want to copy all of that data from the various Gantt charts into this
new one. I select the id's and copy and paste it in and the links stay, but
the colors of the bars on the gantt chart all go blue. Is there a way I can
keep the colors I've set up in all of the other files?

Thanks

The colours are taken from the Gantt chart settings in the new file.
You can open the Organizer and copy the Gannt chart view from one of the old
files overwritting the one in your new file, or if you want this as the
default for all new schedules copy it into the Global.mpt as well.

However this will only work if you have a consistant view across all of your
old files. If you used different colours in the different files for the
same type of task then I'm afraid you can't do it.
