Drag and drop text editing does not work

Using Word03 w/ XPPro SP2. For some reason, my drag and drop feature suddenly
stopped working. Tried disabling and re-enabling in Tools-Options-Edit tab
but it didn't correct the problem. Can anyone help?

Thx in advance!
 
Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your reply. Just trying to drag and drop text and actually, a
restart got it working again. I had tried that once but came across a
suggestion that said to run the following commands: regsvr32 ole32.dll &
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll. These didn't work so I restarted again and drag and
drop started working. :-\

Not sure what got it going but it's now working.

thought I'd try it a second time and it worked.
 
Drag 'n' Drop doesn't work when certain panels are open, such as Cross
Reference. Maybe you had one of those open at the time.

(When you do, you get a crossed-circle icon over the cursor when you
try to drag stuff.)
 
Hi Grammatim, A restart solved my issue but I wanted to clarify that I didn't
have any cross panels open and did not notice the crossed-circle icon. Thanks
for your suggestion, though.
