SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, if you open the Global.mpt file from Microsoft
Project 4.1 or 4.1a, you will only be able to copy views between the global
templates; you will not be able to copy views from a global template to
another open file.
RESOLUTION
To copy a view to a Microsoft Project 98 file, use these steps:
- Open the Microsoft Project version 4.1 global.mpt file.
- On the View menu, click More Views.
- In the More Views dialog box, click Organizer, and then
click the Views tab.
- Select the view you want to copy to the Microsoft Project 98 file,
and then click Copy.
- Click Close.
- Close the Microsoft Project 95 global.mpt file.
- Open the file you want to copy the views into.
- On the View menu, click More Views.
- In the More Views dialog box, click Organizer, and then
click the Views tab.
- Select the views you want to transfer to the Microsoft Project 98
file, and then click Copy.
- Click Close.
The views will now be available in the new Microsoft Project 98 file. Keep
in mind that if any views in the Microsoft Project 95 global.mpt file have
the same name as those in the Microsoft Project 98 they will be
overwritten.
