SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word For Windows version 2.0, pressing the CTRL key while you perform a drag-and-drop edit allows you to copy the selected text or graphic to the drop point.

MORE INFORMATION
Performing a drag-and-drop edit without the CTRL key allows you to move the selected items to the drop point. If you select the desired information and hold down the CTRL key, you can copy the selected text or graphic to the drop point rather than moving it.
