| + | Initially you select text in the normal manner. Once text has been selected, you may click the primary mouse button (usually the left button) on the selected text, at which time the mouse pointer changes to a pointer with a small dotted rectangular box at the bottom of the pointer. This pointer indicates you are in the drag and drop editing mode and may drag the selection to a new location. | ||
