Memos support a variety of Drag-and-Drop operations. Most of them work exactly as you'd expect from a modern word processor, so we won't dwell upon them. We will briefly point out what we believe may be unfamiliar to you.

 

You can drag-and-drop text between Alventis Memos and other applications. E.g., WordPad to Memo and vice versa.

We already mentioned that you can drag-and-drop selections of text and/or hyperlinks from Microsoft Internet Explorer to Memos.

 

You can also drag-and-drop files into a Memo. Files whose format is directly recognized by Alventis get their contents inserted at the point where you drop them. Such files are: Text (TXT), Rich Text Format documents (RTF), all supported Picture files: Bitmaps (BMP), JPEGs (JPG/JPEG), GIFs (GIF), PNGs (PNG), Icons (ICO), Enhanced and regular Metafiles (EMF/WMF). Attempts to drag-and-drop an unsupported file will be ignored by the Memo.

 

As was described in the chapter on Hyperlinks, you can insert a link to any file (regardless of its format/extension) into a Memo using Alt-drag-and-drop, i.e., hold down the Alt key while dropping.

 

The same chapter on Hyperlinks also explained how you can create links to records by dragging them from the Search Results into a Memo.
