Discussion

Instead of spending time inserting subprojects to create a master project, you can open all of the subproject files and allow Microsoft Project to create a master project for you by consolidating them. When you select the files, you can also specify the view in which you want them to appear in the new project file.

After you consolidate the projects into a master project, you can rearrange the subprojects just as you would rearrange tasks. Each subproject in the consolidated file is given a subproject number and all tasks within a subproject start with the number one.
