MS Word Drag&Drop

[Sandra]

Hi,

I have two problems with drag & drop functionality in word (Office97 -
OfficeXP):



1.. I'm trying to drag and drop document from the disk to the word
document as icon. If part of the document is protected (two sections, first
is protected, second is free), drag-and-drop of files doesn't work! (I'm
trying to drop in to the free section.). When I unprotect the document
drag-and-drop functionality works fine.
2.. Drag and drop of doc file from the disk includes document object. If
I want it to be displayed as icon I have to right-click, chose convert and
then select display as icon. Is there any way of making display as icon
property default = true when drag & dropping?

1. Sounds about right. It doesn't like to change state if its
protected. Annoying, hey.

2. Nope.
