You're typing the last three minutes of your report for your boss, and a brilliant thought comes to your mind.
Who's got time to create another document to put down the thought... Well, why not just create a document scrap?
Run WordPad, Microsoft Word, or any other application that allows you to drag and drop selected text.
Type and select the text you want to save in a scrap document.
Drag and drop the selected text on to the desktop. You just created a scrap document!
