Query: moving stuff between projects to hide from publication

I sometimes use the "Squeak" Flap for this.

But, my favorite way is to get a ProjectView of the destination 
project and just Drag and Drop objects to it. This is nice because 
the copies go to the same places in the destination project as they 
were in the source project (thanks to Bob Arning!).

Cheers,

Alan
