Drag and Drop

With Nisus Writer Express you can drag any selection and drop it somewhere else in any Drag and Drop compatible application.

1. Select the characters (either text or images, either contiguous or as a multipart selection) which you want to move.

You can use Drag and Drop to move selections into another Nisus Writer Express document (or text editable window (the Clipboard or the Find & Replace window)), to the desktop as clippings or into other Drag and Drop compatible applications.

2. Move the pointer over the selected text.

3. Click and drag the text to where you want it.

4. Release the mouse or trackpad button.

Press as you drag your selection to place a copy of your selection where you drop it.

While you can delete and add text as you edit the Clipboard, you cannot cut, copy or paste as you edit it. If you want to move some text around (or even duplicate it) on the Clipboard, the easiest tool is to use Drag and Drop.

You can also drag and drop the little paragraph formatting icons that display in the gutter. These small ruler and paragraph icons similar to those that appear on the Status Bar contain all the formatting information of the current ruler or paragraph level style. You can also drag and drop the shape anchors that appear when you select any floating image. For more information on paragraph formatting icons see “The rulers”, on page 14. For more information on shape anchors see “The Shape Anchor” on page 193.
