Hi Vivian,
You have given us little clue as to what you find difficult.
But saying that you find "drop and dragging" hard to do
suggests that you find using the mouse a problem. This in
turn suggests that you find out how to use MS Access using
the keyboard only, as a blind person would. If you don't
get an answer on this list, try a listserv such as blind-l.

BTW, if you have difficulty with reading print, because of
tracking the words across the page and back to the start
of the next line, try a word-at-a-time display such as
WordAloud. You should find you can read text several times
faster than from a word processor or off the printed page.
Cheers,
John
