[Sigia-l] Reports w/ Horizontal Scrolls

[pauric]

my bad, drag-pan.  I refer to it as drag-drop due to the handle release,
right button depress, when you finish panning.  Either way...

Wondering how you combine the ability to drag-pan with selection
(copy/paste) of contents. I think alt/ctrl switching is out. How do you
demonstrate the 'affordance' if, in an ideal world, you can combine both
functions

thanks
