Drag and drop editing in a doc won't work - I get circle-slash cur
Suddenly Word 2003 has started this strange behavior. If I select a blcok of
text then try and drag and drop it within an open document the cursor becomes a circle-slash and I cannot drop it anywhere. I can Ctrl-X and then Ctrl-V the text, but I cannot drag and drop it. ToolsOptionsEdit Drag and drop IS enabled. (turning that off only disallows the cursor from grabbing the text, no circle-slash appears.) How do I get rid if this incredible nuisance? Thanks!
