Is there a way to mass move tasks between Projects?

I'm looking to understand if it's possible to multiple selection tasks and move the data across from one Project to another Project in Project for the Web? 

Ideally this would include all data like the start, finish date, notes, and checklists etc. 

I've tried having the separate projects open side by side and used the copy and paste method and the select and drag method but with no success. 
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

    In the Microsoft Project desktop application, it would be very easy to copy and paste multiple tasks from one project to another. However, as you have already discovered, there is no way to mass move multiple tasks from one project to another. This is simply one more limitation with the new Project for the Web application.

    As a work around, you might try the Copy Project functionality to get the tasks into a new project. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dale.
      I feared this might be the case, but I'm hopeful as I will give the 'Copying Project' technique a try though so thank you for this. It does in deed help.
