Did you know that you can drag text from any Mac application and save it as a clipping that can be used again later by simply dropping it into a different program?

Even better, it will retain formatting (style, color and fonts)!

Simply highlight the typed text, drag it to the Desktop, then drag it back into the other application!

Very handy if …
