Excel 2000

Using Drag and Drop

Drag and drop is useful in Excel when you can actually see where you want to move your data to a new location.

To Use Drag and Drop:

• Select some cells you'd like to move to a new location.
• Position the mouse pointer near one of the outside edges of the selected cell (however, avoid the fill handle in the lower right during this process).
• The mouse pointer becomes a small white arrow.

• Keeping the mouse pointer on the outer edge of the selected cell, press and hold the mouse button and drag the cells to a new location.

Basic drag and drop techniques can be reviewed in Office 2000 lessons.
