Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Why can't I open two projects and copy activities from one to the other?  the 2nd is just a later update, tries to paste back into the same project... - this should be easy, like from one spreadsheet to another - is there a trick to this?  Pastes it back into the same one and want to just rename the activities....I guess I could export and import but surely there is an easier way....

Yes there is a trick. Some of this might not be necessary now, but I always:

Group and sort by WBS
Do not 'hide if empty'
Always select using the left mouse button, before right-clicking and paste
