Description bobtarling 2003-04-16 11:10:30 UTC 
These are features on many M$ editors that I often find 
useful.

1. Mark an area of text then the user can click on and 
drag that text to another part of the document.
2. Holding the ctrl key down at the same time as the above 
drags a copy rather than the original.
3. Holding the alt key down while marking text marks a 
column block of text which can be cut and pasted or 
drag 'n' dropped using (1) and (2) above.
