drag and drop of text

[reesd]

Is there a way to get drag and drop of text back/forth between a osx host app (e.g. Word 2011) and a windows guest app (Windows 7 WordPad)?

Thanks,
dave

Sure ( but in terms of text it should be copy-paste i think) - you need Parallels Tools to be installed in the virtual machine to do that

Thanks. Copy and paste is working for me. But what I want to do is drag and drop text as shown here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfSonLRlCRg&t=0m50s.

Within the Mac you can drag and drop text between documents. And within the Windows Guest you can drag and drop text between documents. But you can't do it between them.

Are you sure it actually works with different applications even in Windows? i mean are you actually able to drag the text from Windows Word to Windows WordPad?
