Using Drag and Drop

Some tasks can be performed by dragging objects from one location on the screen to another. For example, the order of items in some lists can be changed by dragging them to new locations in the list.

To drag an object, use the following steps.

1.    Move the mouse to the object you wish to drag, then press and hold down the left mouse button.

2.    While holding down the mouse button, move the mouse in order to move the selected object. When you are moving an object that can be dragged, the mouse pointer will change to reflect the action that is being performed.

3.    Move the mouse to the desired new position.

4.    Release the left mouse button to "drop" the object in the new position.

Ä    Note: Dragging some objects, such as dragging data and groups in the Portfolio View, can perform one of several tasks. Dragging with the left mouse button will perform the most common task. To view a list of all dragging options, use the right mouse button to drag an object. When you release the right mouse button, a menu will appear listing all of the actions which that drag can perform.
