The big issue with the MSP Baseline is that is not realy a baseline and MSP just saves dates, durations and resource assignments. It does not save relationships, constraints, calendars, critical path or float.
So to save the Baseline as a new project you need to crate a new project with the right calendars, then copy and pasting the Baseline activities into a new project, but paste the task name to Task Name, theBaseline Start and Baseline Finish into Start and Finish, you will also need to paste the Ouutline Level field as this will create the Summary Task. The position of the column fields is importqant and I find you have to paste twice.
The tasks will be assigned an early constraint when pasted.
