## Dragging and Dropping Catalog Items into Other Applications

Mac OS: On the Macintosh, you can drag items from Gallery windows into any application that supports drag and drop. Extensis provides drag and drop support for QuarkXPress with the “Extensis QX-Drag&Drop” XTension located on the Extensis CD. Run the Extensis QX-Drag&Drop Installer to add this XTension to the QuarkXPress XTensions folder.

Windows: On Windows PCs, you can drag and drop items from Gallery windows into any application that supports OLE drag-and-drop. Check your application’s documentation for information on OLE drag-and-drop support.

To place one or more Catalog items into a Drag and Drop aware application:

1. In the Catalog Gallery window, select the item(s) you wish to place into a drag-and-drop capable document.

2. Drag and drop the item(s) into an open document in the receiving application.

   If the receiving application can accept the item’s file type, the item will be placed in the application.

— or —

1. Double-click the item to open the Item Preview window.

2. Mac OS: Use the crosshair cursor to select an area to copy, or choose “Select All” from the Edit menu (Command+A) to select the entire image.

   Windows: The item is automatically selected.

3. Choose “Copy” from the Edit menu, or press Command+C (Mac OS) or Ctrl+C (Windows).

4. Open a document in the receiving application, then choose “Paste” from the Edit menu, or press Command+V (Mac OS) or Ctrl+V (Windows).

Note: You should not use the “Copy” command (which places items on the clipboard) to place items in other documents, unless you do so from the Item Preview window as indicated above. When you use the Copy command from a Gallery window, Portfolio expects you to be copying item records between Galleries (within or between Catalogs).
