Moving Information Using Drag-and-Drop

Another way to move information from one cell to another is to use the drag-and-drop method. You use the cursor to point to the information to be moved and then drag the cell to its new location.

To Use Drag and Drop:

• Highlight and select the cell(s) you want to move to a new location.
• Position the mouse pointer near one of the outside edges of the selected cell(s). The mouse pointer changes from a large, white cross and becomes a slender, black cross with arrows at all ends.
  
  
  
  
• Keep the mouse pointer on the outer edge of the selected cell, click and hold the left mouse button and drag the cell(s) to a new location.
  
  
  
  
• Release the mouse button to move the information to its new location.
