Microsoft Word 2007 - Transfer Information Side by Side by Dragging!

Whenever you need to copy information from one Word document to another, we all know how to cut and paste, right?  Did you know you can drag the information from one document to another? 

For example, if you want to copy a picture from Document 1 to Document 2, follow these easy steps:

1. Open Document 1.

2. Open Document 2 and click the View tab, click the Side By Side
    command in the Window group.

3. Click in Document 2 and click Window under the View tab and
    click Synchronous Scrolling to turn it off.

4. Select the picture in Document 1.

5. Right-click and drag the selected picture to where you want to
    insert the picture in Document 2.

6. Release the mouse button.

This also works with text.  Follow the steps above, but highlight the text you want to drag.  Once highlighted, right-click, and drag to the other document and release the mouse button. 

It's a neat trick.  Try it!
