That's what I thought, judging by the manual, but there again when I
selected a word and tried it the software seemed to assume I wanted to move
that word somewhere else as indicaterd by the ghost lines that formed in th=
e
direction I was dragging unless I was between letters in which case I was,
so far as the machine was concerned, dropping the editing prompt mid word.
At least that's what happens in Works but I've just been in Notes and I
didn't fare any better.
Hope to hear it works with someone else! <|8~) John J
