SUMMARY
If you drag an object from another program into your publication, the insertion point will display an arrow with a plus sign and a small rectangle. When you release the mouse button, the current pointer position will mark the upper-left corner of where the dropped object will appear.

NOTE: This behavior is different from the way other programs handle dropped objects.



MORE INFORMATION
If you drag an object into a program such as Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, or CorelDRAW! version 5.0, the position of the pointer marks the center of where the dropped object will appear. In addition, the object may appear in outline form while you move the pointer.

If you drag an object from one place to another on the same publication page, you will see an outline of the object as you move it. If you drag an object to another instance of Publisher, you will not see the outline of the object.
