You can select text and then drag and drop it in another location. You can drag text to a different location in the same text editor or to another text editor.

###### Dragging and dropping text

To drag and drop text, do the following:

- Select the text you want to move, either with the mouse or with the keyboard.
- Click on the highlighted text and keep the mouse button pressed.
- Move the mouse cursor to where you want to place the text.
- Release the mouse button to drop the text.

Dragging text moves it to the new location. You can copy the text to a new location by holding down the Ctrl key while moving the text: the mouse cursor changes to indicate a copy. Pressing the Esc key while dragging text will cancel a drag and drop edit.

- From the Tools menu, click Options.
- Under Text Editor, click General.
- In the Editing section, check Drag/drop editing to enable drag and drop editing or uncheck it to disable drag and drop editing.
