Dropping Text on the Dock for Fast Results
	Thursday, October 07 2010 By: chrisb Quickly create new documents Drag and Drop to the Dock Click to see a larger image If you are looking at a web page in Safari and find some text you want to email to a friend, you can copy the text and paste it into a new email message. While copy and paste work fine, there's a quicker way Simply highlight the text you want to share and drag-and-drop it right on the Mail icon in the Dock. A new mail message will open with the dragged text already in it. This trick isn't just limited to Safari and Mail. You can drag text from many (but not all) applications to the Dock icon of another application to have the dragged-to application act on it. For example: If you have text that you want to do a Google search on, drag the text to the Safari icon. A new tab will open in Safari with the Google search results. Highlight some text and drag it to the Stickies icon. A new Stickie will be created with from the dragged text. (How to get Stickies to open automatically when you log into your account.) There are more possibilities–do a little exploring to see what else you can find. Related Items: Safari | Stickies | Mail Donate $1
