Why can't I drag and drop a document into a folder?
The drag and drop function is not working in the folder view. I can't pick up a document and drop it into it's folder. The same function does not work in pdf software that I use. When I am in document assembly mode I can't move pages around. I'm not sure if these two problems are connected.
