I'm re-writing a document and periodically need to put excerpts into a new document.
The situation at the moment is that I have 5 empty new docs with no idea how to put my things into any of them.
I've spent ages on Google but all I came up with was 'drag and drop'-and that was mentioned on only one site out of dozens.
Maybe I'm stupid but I can't see how I can drag and drop a chunk of seven pages into a new doc.

Please help,

Jenufa.

I'm going to attempt to answer this myself--if it's ok.
Firstly, 'document' should've read 'folder'.
Secondly, I just opened the main doc. before opening a new ,blank doc.
and copying & pasting my notes between the 2.
This may not be the correct way so I'd still be grateful for other suggestions
as to methods used.
