of the word 'Routing Bank'.
You can drag text from the individual fields of the CHAPS Tab and drop it into other Windows programs - like Microsoft Word.
Hold down one of the [Shift] keys (usually marked with a hollow arrow pointing upwards). Then click and hold down the left mouse button on the field you wish to move (drag) text from - the cursor will turn into a dragging icon. Now move to the program you wish to place the text in (keeping the mouse button down). Finally, release the mouse button to drop the text in the new field.
