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?

    See if drag & drop works if you start Word in Safe mode (as part of troubleshooting).

    You can do that by holding the Ctrl key as you start Word and click yes when asked about Safe mode.

    Drag and drop does not work when a modal window such as the cross reference window is open. Closing the modal window resolves the issue.

    If drag and drop does not work, and there is no modal window open, then the issue is different than the one I experienced.

    Thanks,

    BTW, reinstalling Office to 64 bit fixed the problem!

    Thanks!
