How to use eFileMadeEasy Drag and Drop

Sometimes you just want to find your file and file it without having to open Word or Acrobat.  eFileMadeEasy provides drag and drop functionality.


WARNING!  Using Drag & Drop for .DOCX files may result in formatting issues.  We recommend that you ALWAYS use the Word plugin to convert Word.  This will ensure any formatting remains intact.


NOTE:  Drag and drop will work with PDF files and Word .DOCX files...NOT Word .DOC files.  The .DOC format was last used in Microsoft Word 2003 which has is no longer supported by Microsoft as of April, 2014.  eFileMadeEasy does not support standards that are no longer supported by the publisher themselves.  While you can still save as a .DOC file, Microsoft no longer supports the .DOC format.  We HIGHLY recommend that you save all of your Microsoft Word documents as the newer .DOCX format.  See the end of life cycle from Microsoft.
