How to ‘Drag and Drop’ Information to Move or Copy It Quickly
One quick way to move or copy information from one folder on your computer to another is to “drag and drop” it using your mouse. Dragging and dropping allows you to move selected information — text, graphics or data — directly from one location to another. It saves you from copying and pasting or opening and renaming files. It allows you to move many existing documents into one folder quickly.
Many applications, such as Microsoft Office Suite, allow you to use the drag-and-drop method. To do so, however, you must first make sure you can see both documents (the text, graphics or data you want and the destination folder you want to move it to) on-screen at the same time. It can be in the same window or separate windows, but both the file and its destination must be visible on your computer screen.
To drag and drop the file to its final destination, follow these steps:
- Select the text, graphic or data you want to move by left-clicking it once.
- Position the mouse pointer over the selected area and drag the file by moving the mouse pointer to its destination folder.
- Once the file (text, graphic or data) is where you want to place it, release the mouse button to complete the move or copy procedure. The file will now be in its new location.
