cannot drop at current location

[Javi]

Specs: Microsoft Word 2007-XP Professional, File is large (.docx)

Problem:
I can't move my figures around my document. At the very bottom left, it
reads "cannot drop at current location" while I'm trying to drag and drop. I
checked the advanced setting and it's ticked to allow it. What gives?!

Please help-Thanks,

-JV

Perhaps the document or that area of the document is protected? Can you do
any editing in the target area?

If the graphic is In Line With Text, then it can be dropped only in a text
area (that is, somewhere in the document body where there is already text).
If it has any other wrapping style, you can put it anywhere.

I'm not sure how I can determine if it is protected...but I can edit the text
and everything else. I just can drag and drop pictures or highlighted text...

Thanks!

Thanks Suzanne. That wasn't the problem though-I had been moving stuff
around for weeks without a problem. All of a sudden it works now...I've read
other people having this problem (googled).

Thanks to everyone! The work week is almost over! =)
