The best way to learn more about dragging and dropping is simply to play around and discover all the possibilities.
340 
Most combinations of drag and drop will produce the most natural, anticipated result.
341 
</p>
342 
 
343 
<p>
344 
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
345 
Opera toolbars that support drag and drop have a context-menu (right-click) option for restoring toolbar defaults.
