I have a project with a series of phases. Each phase has some identical tasks and some unique ones. I would like to copy the tasks into the phases rather than rebuilding them.

When I try to copy them, the links do not properly update.

For example, I have 80 rows of data, with dependencies, etc. I copy rows 10 to 50...they become rows 150 to 190. However, the dependencies still show to row 15 for example, rather than to row 165.

Is there a way to copy tasks and have the dependencies update to reflect the new rows (this works fine in Excel for example, the cell references update).

I should note, this is a work project using MS Project 2003 (updating to 2010 shortly)
