Split and Merge Note Containers

Quick reference

• 00:04 Let's see how we can merge containers together and also split a container.
• 00:09 So you see how I have Phil's phone number here and Dave's phone number and
• 00:14 they're really in separate containers at this time.
• 00:18 Well, they kind of go together, right?
• 00:20 They're both phone numbers, so watch what I'm going to do.
• 00:24 I'm going to move my mouse to the container that says Dave, and
• 00:28 I'm going to hold down my Shift key.
• 00:30 I'm going to hold down my Shift key, okay?
• 00:33 Then I'm going to drag it into the other container, and
• 00:37 now we just merged those together.
• 00:41 Let me undo that so I can do that again.
• 00:43 Of course, Undo is up here.
• 00:45 Okay, so I'm going to move my mouse to the one that says Dave and
• 00:48 actually move my mouse to the top container here.
• 00:51 And then I'll hold down the Shift key on my keyboard.
• 00:55 I'm going to hold it down.
• 00:56 Then that allows me to drag it and then when it approaches that other container,
• 01:01 they're just merged together.
• 01:03 I'm going to lift my fingers now, and now the two containers have been merged.
• 01:08 That's a pretty good one to know about.
• 01:10 On the other hand, let's see how we can split a container.
• 01:13 So let's come over here and
• 01:16 let's say I wanted New Jersey to be kind of by itself,
• 01:21 and the rest of the states to be separated from that.
• 01:26 So right now, they're all in the same container as we can see.
• 01:31 So this time, I'll use the Insert menu and
• 01:34 we're going to use that Insert Space icon that we used in the previous lesson.
• 01:38 So I'll pick on Insert Space.
• 01:40 Now, watch, you're going to get that line, right?
• 01:44 And I'm going to move that line right in the middle of this container and
• 01:48 then click there.
• 01:52 And actually, I'm just going to drag it down and look what happened.
• 01:56 So this container got split and so
• 01:59 did this one because of where that line was positioned, so let me undo that again.
• 02:06 So I'll move this container out of the way.
• 02:08 So let's say I don't want this to be split.
• 02:11 I'll move this container out of the way.
• 02:13 And then watch how I'm going to split this one again.
• 02:16 I'll pick on Insert Space.
• 02:18 You get that line.
• 02:20 So I'll move my mouse where I want the split to occur.
• 02:24 I'm going to hold down my left mouse button and just drag it down.
• 02:30 And you can see how now this is one container and
• 02:33 this is another container so I was able to split that pretty easily.
• 02:38 Well, let's merge them back together again.
• 02:40 Remember what I showed you at the beginning of this lesson.
• 02:42 I'm going to move my mouse to the top of that container,
• 02:46 hold down my Shift key, move it back up to this container.
• 02:50 And as soon as it is part of that container, it merges automatically and
• 02:55 now they're back together again.
• 02:57 So now you can see how to split and how to merge the containers.
