It seems like you're doing an extra, and unrelated step. You say you
highlight the items which I assume means you select them. Then you say you
do the mouse down - okay so far. Then you say you mark the items for
dragging. This is where I think you're doing something wrong. Pressing VO
comma will mark an item, or possibly multiple items I suppose for dragging.
It's an extra step because you've already decided to use the mouse up/down
keystrokes for dragging. So, when you arrive at the drop location, either do
a mouse up, or a VO period to do the drop, but don't mix up the two.
That is, either drag and drop using the VO comma and VO period method, or
use the mouse up/down method. For that matter, you could probably use the
good old cut and paste method.
I'd say then, either eliminate the VO comma step and, or eliminate the mouse
down/up keystrokes and do a VO period at the drop location.
I've found that if one method of moving items doesn't work, then one of the
other two will. And, if none of them work, then the software is crap and I
don't use it.
Hope this makes sense

Subject: Drag and Drop into tables
Hello everyone,
I have somewhat of a frustrating issue when attempting to drag and drop
into tables of various programs or locations.
First, I highlight the items I want to move, then press the mouse-down
feature.
Then I mark the set of selected items for dragging.
Next, I go to the table I want to move the items to and hit the mouse-up
release feature.
This has worked in the past, but generally it takes a couple of passes
before it works. It is slightly frustrating because the process is not
definite upon the first attempt.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am not doing correctly?
P.S. The tables in this case are generally within different programs for
batch conversion.
