Drag-and-drop is one of the slick new behaviors to come out of application design in the last few years. Dragging is the process of selecting an object and carrying it between applications. Dropping is the process of laying the object down in the new application. If you think about what you are really doing, this is pretty cool.
"I'm going to take this, pick it up and put it over here. Voilà!"
In this short video, "How to Drag and Drop Reports into Microsoft Word" (0:58), I show you a little trick to use when dragging and dropping your reports from JMP into Microsoft Word. By using the selection tool, you can drop reports in these other applications as editable objects so that you can change the style or update the labels in the reports. This is great if you need to add reports to your presentations and documents and have document style requirements at your company.
