> Microsoft Manual of Style says drag. IMHO, style manuals are important and valuable, but technical writers must be able to "choose" to use words and syntax that may violate certain rules in order to be clear and concise, as judged by the writer when considering the audience. If "Click and Drag" will result in less questioning by the reading audience, then that is the better choice. If "management" refuses to allow such variations, then the job is probably not paying well enough for the writer's professional judgment.
