The list of the matching items appears in the Items Found window. You can
work with items directly in this window. For example, you can move or copy
a file, open a folder, or get information on an item.
You can get tips on using Find File by choosing Find File Shortcuts from the
Guide (h) menu.
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 might 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.
