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 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?
