Drag and Drop Stops Working

[TucsonJack]

I am using Word 2007 and have a problem in that suddenly, and with no pattern that I can detect, my ability to "drag and drop" stops working. This happens with no other Word functions open (Like "Find" or "Compare Documents"); just the single document is open.



Searching for solutions, I discovered one fix, which is to open "Run" in the Windows "Accessories" and type in regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

This worked in the past, but now even that is not working without additionally opening Word's Options, deselecting "Allow drag and drop", closing Word, re-opening Word, and then re-selecting "Allow drag and drop".

Any idea how I can solve this permanently? It's making me a bit crabby.

Thanks.
