Drag-and-Drop Editing Not Functional with Pen Windows

ID: Q110398

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b 2.0c
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run Word with Windows for Pen Computing, drag-and-drop editing will not function. This also affects the Examples and Demos found on the Help menu: any demo that uses drag-and-drop editing can't display this process. Other portions of the demo are not affected, and you should be able to continue through the lesson.

CAUSE

The motions associated with drag-and-drop editing are not significantly different from current Pen Windows gestures. Therefore, there is currently no method for distinguishing between the two; only Pen Windows gestures are recognized and interpreted.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Word listed above.
