Mouse Operations: Drag

An action that has become popular with the use of the computer now consists of clicking somewhere and moving the mouse while the clicked button is still held down. This action is referred as Dragging. To perform this action:

1- Position the mouse where indicated (the person or the document asking you to drag will always tell you where to start the action)
2- Then click and hold your mouse down
3- Then move the mouse in the indicated direction (you will always be told where to move the mouse)
4- Once you get to the desired location, release the mouse. That would be the end of the dragging action.

What happens, when you drag, depends on the item you were dragging, whether an item was selected when you were dragging, and what button was pressed when you were dragging.
