Several community discussions on this topic, but I can't find a good answer!  Microsoft, does Word 365 support drag and drop?  If so, how do I fix my system?

    I am only running one 64bit version of Office on windows 10 64bit. If you tried install and uninstall, and it's not working for you still, I'm not sure what to suggest, and I feel your pain. Good luck!

    I have tried that as well with no luck. Are you running any other versions of Office on the machines?  I have access 2007 installed on my computers along with office 365 minus access 2016.

    It happened to me in Outlook and Word, didn't try PowerPoint or Excel, and I tried Word in safe mode, nothing worked till I uninstalled and reinstalled all of Office 365. Now everything is working ok, so honestly, I would just advise uninstall/reinstall.

    What i meant was once it happens we close word and try running word in safe mode. 

    Also this is not just Word. I see this in Outlook with attachment when trying to drag and drop into another email or desktop. 

    There is something with Office 365. It is the only difference between my computers in my environment.

    I"m not sure, as I don'rt use add-ins, but you may need to reinstall those as well, most likely, so have any license information available, just in case you need to re-input their licenses, too.

    And no, I don't need to be in safe mode after the reinstall of Office, everything is working normally now. Something probably got corrupted somewhere and the uninstall/reinstalled fixed it.
