I am a new user of TMG 6 and have two questions:

1. For a single project: If I have dataset called A (with say 1000
individuals) then can I create a copy dataset called B within the same
project? If I then delete all the individuals and sources in Dataset B then
am I left with an "empty dataset" called B but one that still holds the Tag
Types, Source Types, Styles that were in dataset A? How easy might this be
in practice?

2. If I have a project called P (with say 1000 individuals in a single
dataset) then can I copy the whole project to create a separate project
called Q. If I then delete all the individuals and sources in single dataset
in Project Q then am I left with an "empty dataset" in Project Q but one
that still holds the Tag Types, Source Types, Styles that were in Project P?
How easy might this be in practice?
