The ability to drag them to the SB was a bug in FP corrected by Office SP 2
- just because it "worked" before doesn't mean it was supposed to and is supported any more
Glad you moved to DWT - a better solution

| Well, all I can tell you is that I built ALL my site in design mode, and I
| don't know the first thing about writing HTML code, nor editing it. I saw
| that the insert interactive button was greyed out when the shared panel was
| the target, so I inserted the button into the main page, and then dragged it
| up to the shared panel, and not to contradict you too much, nor can I explain
| how, but as I say, I built my entire site this way! Only this morning, after
| reloading my laptop, and reinstalling FP, was I no longer able to do it. If
| you look at my site now
www.thehughesgroup.ie, you will see the interactive
| buttons in the shared panel. However, about half an hour ago, having
| followed your advice, I got assistance from the office assistance program
| (
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/assistance/HA011277231033.aspx) which is
| titled "how to convert from shared panel to dwt" I think I have managed to
| get the DWT way working, which is great, and I thank you very much.
