Abstract

A move hint for selecting and moving content is provided. When content is selected, a move option is displayed in a context menu. A user can select the move option to move the selected content to another location in the same document or in a different document. Selecting the move option removes the selected content, and a move hint is displayed at the location where the content was removed. The move hint provides a visual clue of what is removed from the content. To insert the removed content, the user is enabled to select an insertion point and then select the move hint. On placement of the insertion point, the move hint is available to give the user a visual clue as to what will be moved to that location. Responsive to the selection of the move hint, the removed content is inserted into the document at the insertion point.
