How to move a new layer?

[enginestar]

Thanks for the replies guys.
I looked at the video but am still stuck. I watched 2 min of the video, but didn't get answers to what I needed.

What I want to do:

- Copy a section of an image. Post that selection as a new layer onto the image.
How do I do this?

My ohter part of the question still is the same:

Text layer: I make a new text layer.
Now... I can't move it.
There seems to be some other empty box that gets moved when I use the move tool.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
