WINDOWS | MACINTOSH

= SUMMARY =

The Outline Numbers and Symbols in Project for Windows and Macintosh, as selected from the Format Outline menu, cannot be copied with their associated task names and pasted onto another application. When you highlight the task names, as follows, only the task names will appear in the Name field:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Paste in another application.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Outline Number and Outline Symbol options are only for screen display in Project and are not actually part of the Name field. Therefore, these options do not get copied to the Clipboard.

= WORKAROUND =

Have the WBS code display in an adjacent column and copy that field along with the names. The WBS code is very similar to the outline number that is calculated by Project; however the WBS may need to be altered in some cases to reflect a similar outline number.
