Familiarizing yourself with the Xnews Interface
Using the Drag bar to create embedded pages and clips
The Drag bar is located along the left side of the Xnews interface and is easily identified by
the V
ERTIGO X M EDIA logo that is written across it.
The Drag bar provides access to the C HANGE S ETTINGS command, which allows you to
specify settings that affect the functionality of Xnews (figure 3-25 ). See “Configuring the
Xnews settings” on page 2-12 for more information.

The Drag bar allows you to drag and drop the currently open page/clip into the host news
system. Figure
3-26 demonstrates that when you click the Drag bar while holding down the
left mouse key and start moving the mouse across the story panel, the cursor changes to a
drag icon
and the drag-and-drop functionality is initiated. Place the cursor in the location
in the story where you want the page to be ordered and release the mouse key. The
page/clip’s MOS entry is added to the story and the page closes in Xnews. See
“Saving and
adding embedded pages to a story” on page 5-15 for more information.
