Look what the dog dragged in! Another string of text. "Sprocket, how many times do I have to tell you: each Windows application should stay antonymous. What? You're saying they shouldn't?" My puppy claims that you can drag & drop data from one 'OLE' app (Object Linking and Embedding) into another with ease. As you're editing a document in one program (like Word), you can easily drag & drop the selected text into another program (like Outlook). Found a cool passage in your Internet Explorer session? Select it, drag it, and drop it somewhere appropriate. Cool Outlook trick #72: when you've copied text to the clipboard, go to your Inbox and hit CTRL+V. Or, just drag & drop text into the general Inbox area. To unfluffify formatting, create a new 'text' message and drop selected rich-text into it. This feature is anything but a drag, dude.
