I can't drag and select any text using Outlook or Word, using Apple Mouse or Trackpad.
Could you help me?
Regards.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3
Works with Word v16.99.1 on Sequoia v15.6. Here is an animation showing a select, drag, and drop into Apple Pages. The trick is to select, pause a second, and then click, drag, and then drop.
Tried it out and it seems to work in Outlook at least, but it's very finicky.
Have not tried in Word for instance since I don't have an Office 365 subscription.
Make sure you click first and then drag, though don't click too hard or you'll bring up the "Define" option instead.
Also, it needs to be dragged to a place with text already exists, it does not appear to let me drag to a place with no text.
I'm using a trackpad from my MacBook Air.
Thank you for your help.
It's weird, because I can drag and select an existing text (e.g. from an e-mail that I've received), but I can't drag and select a new text, as an e-mail that I'm typing now).
Click-and-drag to select text works fine for me in MS Word, as does subsequently moving that text block by dragging.
