SYMPTOMS
When you try to drag text or graphics from Microsoft Word to another program, the selection does not move to the other program.



CAUSE
The drag-and-drop feature works only if the destination program supports OLE drag-and-drop operations. If the program supports an earlier version of OLE, or if it does not support OLE at all, you cannot perform drag-and-drop editing between Word and that program. If you try to drag a selection to a program that does not support OLE drag-and-drop operations, it does not work.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Word for Windows, the pointer changes to a "not permitted" symbol when you try to drag an object into a program that does not support OLE drag-and-drop operations.
