Hi Tom, Just in case you decide to play around with drag & drop, here are the keystrokes:
Use the key strokes, (CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH) for Drag and Drop . This is used to drag items from one location and drop them in another. Position the JAWS Cursor on the item you wish to move and press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH. You can leave the JAWS Cursor active, or you can switch to the PC Cursor. JAWS will keep speaking as you navigate. Once you have positioned the JAWS or PC Cursor in the location to which you would like to move the item, press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH again, and the item will be moved to the position of the active cursor.

Tom, You are welcome. Theoretically there is an way to drag & drop with JAWS but most folks, myself included, have limited success with it. For me, as I suggested to you simply cut & paste gets the job done.
