The user selects or "highlights" the text or file for moving by some method, typically by dragging over the text or file name with the pointing-device or holding down the Shift key while using the arrow keys to move the text cursor.

If text is entered that happens to be in a form that Excel interprets as a date, the text can be unintentionally changed to a standard date format.
