How to merge windows in Mission Control?

What I need to do, which is what I did all the time before Lion, is have iPhoto and Pages in the same window so that i can drag photos into my Pages document.

Currently I have Pages,Mail and Safari in one window and iPhoto in another. I did not choose this order, I just opened the programs. I used to be able to just drag something from one window to another.

I cant find anything in Mission Control Preferences or Help.

Please help...

When you say "windows", I assume you spaces (or Desktops, as they are labeled in Mission Control). Go to the space that contains the window you want to move. Drag it from the main section in Mission Control to the Desktop thumbnail you want. If you want to move all the windows associated with an application, drag the application icon instead of the window. You can also drag windows or applications to a new space: Drag to the far right of the spaces thumbnails and drop on the + that appears.

Thanks.

So from the main or middle section I dragged the Pages window to an empty space thumbnail at the top. Then I dragged the open iPhoto window from the middle section to the same window thumbnail at the top that I had just put Pages.

I had been trying to drag the Pages window from the middle to the iPhoto window thumbnail at the top and vice versa...


Anyway, solved my problem. Thank you!
