Default Word 2003: Can't drag and drop highlighted text

Does this happen with all documents? With a particular (set of) document(s)?
Could the document be protected?

If drag and drop doesn't work in new, blank documents, have you tried to
locate and rename the normal.dot template; you can search for it in Windows
(be sure to search hidden files and folders)?

Usually I can highlight text and then move the text to another place. Now
when I do this I get a circle with a slash through it. I've checked
Tool--Options--Edit, drag and drop text editing is checked. Is there any
other way to fix this?
