Default Drag and Drop in Word 2002

yes, that's what I was trying to do. I'm glad to know what was wrong. Thank
you all for your time and expertise.

Are you trying to drag text into an area where there is not yet any text?
While you can drag wrapped objects (those that have a wrapping style other
than In Line With Text) anywhere on the page, you can drag text only into
other text areas.

I experience the problem when there are no dialog boxs opened

I have experienced that you cannot use the drag-and-drop method if a
dialog
box is open such as the Find, Cross-reference or Symbol dialog box.
Could
that explain the problem?
