I do not see how to achieve the desired result by mere dragging. 

E.g. with the included database Biblio, I can create the following Template:

==========================
<Bibliography.biblio.Title>
   by <Bibliography.biblio.Author>
   <Publisher>, <Bibliography.biblio.Year>
   ISBN: <Bibliography.biblio.ISBN>
==========================<Next record:Bibliography.biblio>

template until the end of the page, then mailmerging, i.e. printing the wanted 
records in a target document. At least that's how I do it.
