You can select all the tasks from the change point forward and in the Save Baseline dialog box choose "Selected Tasks" instead of "Entire Project."

We use our MS project plan to compare the progress of the project relative to
the original plan, the baseline. We need to make a modification to the
original plan. We need to change the sequence of tasks but the individual
tasks and durations for the baseline we want to keep the same.

We have already started the project, but the tasks that we are going to
"re-sequence" have not started yet. I just modified the predecessors and
successors but the dates did not change. I though MS Project would calculate
the new dates, I even manually did a "Calculate Now". No change. I set a
new baseline but the duration of the tasks already worked on changed
therefore my overall schedule and completion date changed.

I want to set a new baseline using the original durations not taking into
consideration the progress on the project. How do I do this?
