TechnoDolt™ discovers great new computer function
That would be moi, just seconds ago, when I made a mistake and highlighted a couple words in blue like when you copy and paste, then moved the cursor by accident to my Mac desktop.
A little icon (top) appeared, with some gibberish below it as a caption — when I clicked on it, voila, this appeared:
Huh.
So I guess I can save stuff that easily to my desktop.
See, for reasons not entirely clear, a couple years ago while trying the homebrew TechnoDolt™ version of FinallyFast I permanently trashed my Clipboard — gone, vamoosed, disappeared.
Since then I've copied and pasted stuff into a blank email field for later use.
I feel so techie just now.
Don't disillusion me.

's called drag n drop. You can highlight text/pics an drag them to the desktop then drag them back into a mail message, text edit doc, in design text frame etc. very handy.
Also, if you use text edit, you can highlight text and drag and drop within the document itself. Thus if one were cutting and pasting a dosier on, for example, WMD from the interwebs, you could drag and drop the paragraphs or sentences around the document to make it appear more like original work.
