Drag&Drop from External Applications

You can drag-and-drop content from Microsoft® Office Word or a web browser window into a DITA document. The content will be automatically converted to valid XML structures.

To drag&drop some content from an external application into a DITA document in Serna, do the following:

  1. Select what you want to drag&drop.
    • Select what you want to drag&drop in Microsoft® Office Word.
    • Select what you want to drag&drop in a web browser window.
  2. Drag the selection to the desired place.

    Drag the selected content into a DITA document opened in Serna and drop it at the desired place in the ContentMap or the Editing Window.

    Note:

    Serna shows you where dropping of the dragged content is allowed.

    Note:

    If you drop on the ContentMap item, the content is dropped at the beginning of this element (before its content if any).
