Dragging and dropping text
Normally, you decide whether the
drag and drop should be a move
or a copy , depending on whether
you drag the pointer to
somewhere in the same
document or to somewhere in a
different document. As you drag,
the square at the tail end of the
pointer indicates whether the drag
and drop will be a move or a
copy: If the square is hollow , it
will be a move; if the square is
filled, it will be a copy .
Do not release the CODE or the
MENU key until after you have
released the right mouse button
or else you will move the text
rather than copying the text.
