Macintosh Drag and Drop
You can move text, graphics, sounds, and QuickTime movies without using
copy and paste. With programs that support Macintosh drag and drop, you
can drag an item within a document or between two open documents.
You can also drag an item from a document onto your screen to create a
“clipping.” A clipping is a file that can be dragged into another document
later. For example, you may save your business address as a clipping and drop
it into letters and other documents.
To use the drag-and-drop feature, select the item, then drag it to a new
location. You can practice using this feature with Note Pad, SimpleText,
Scrapbook, and Stickies.
For step-by-step help

button. Select the “Files and Disks” topic and see “How do I copy an item between programs?,” “How
do I copy an item?,” and “How do I use a clipping file?”
