Cant Paste PDF file as Icon

[Marilyn]

Hello,

I use to be able to drag and drop PDF files onto my Word documents and they
would come in as an ICON, however, when I do it now I can see the pages
pasted onto the Word document. Is there a setting that enables and disables
this feature?

Thank you for your help,

Instead of drag-and-drop, use Insert, Object, Create from File, check
"Display as Icon", and browse to your PDF.

Thank you for your reply Ted, it's much appreciated. Yes, I can get around
the issue by doing a Paste Special, but I use to be able to drag and drop the
files and it would display as icon. I'm wondering what could have changed in
my system that prevents this from happening.
