Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP.  My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves).  The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later.  If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great.  Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

Not that I know of.

  • Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

    I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
    1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
    2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
    Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
    Thanks!

    Hi Itzelm, KurryKid,
    The HTML5 trackers doesn't tell you every feature that is not supported, sorry. It will never tell you that a lot of Effects are not supported either. There is an 'incomplete' list of supported features in the Help documentation. Here is my list (bit rough, no nice layout, sorry)

      - Right-to-left3point  - RightToLeft  - Triangle  - ZigZag
    Audio objects (audio attached to invisible objects)
    If project is paused, audio attached to object that is made visible will not play in HTML whereas it does in SWF
    No rollovers (caption, image, slidelet)

    No question pools, random questions

  • Is there a way to create drag and drop activities in Captivate 4?

    Or in any version of Captivate for that matter?
    I haven't see that there is that functionality, but maybe it is there and I didn't realize it.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You can try to use the default Matching Question slide where dragging is possible.
    If you want more functionalities, have a look at the interactive Drag&Drop widget by InfoSemantics (my fav) or the Dag&Drop Lite Question widget:

  • Why can't I drag and drop to the pages icon?

    My MacBookPro is 2 yrs old. Pages is 5.2.

    Sounds to me like you are talking about .rtf files. Pages 5.2 does not support .rtf.
    TextEdit works with .rtf and iCloud, what is your exact problem?
    Please try to be specific. We can't test "things" and "anything".

  • Air mobile best way to implement drag and drop

    Hi all,
    I'm developing an application which allows people to drag and drop certain panels.
    But the dragmanager isn't optimized for the air mobile platform.

    Write it all yourself or are their some utility classes that can help?

  • Disabling drag and drop of jtextfield

    Hey folks,
    i have a problem concerning drag and drop. I try to build a framework where you can drag and drop all panels like in eclipse. The problem now is that i have JTextfields or JList on this panels who have their own Drag and Drop mechanism. Is there a way to disable this mechanism, so the drag and drop of the underling component (my Dropable Jpanel) is called when i drop a panel on a JTextfield?
    Thanks a lot.

    Do you try to change focus before drop event occur. I'm not sure, but I think MouseEvent occur before. Read tutorial pages on DnD, you will find there your solution.

  • Is there anyway to do a drag and drop to copy music?

    In version 11 is there any way to drag and drop music bewtween 2 itunes and I am not talking homesharing.  I want 1 central library but reciently I added some music to my laptop and want to sync it back to the main library.  I used to be able to do a remote desktop connection and just drag and drop from the laptop to my home pc over remote desktop.  It would really really really suck if I have to copy them 1 at a time with the File/Add File to Library option when version 10 worked just fine.

    hey Eugene,
    Could you elaborate it?
    On 1st screen of RSD1, there are quite a few radio selections:
    1. InfoObject (single)
    Or Several InfoObjects
    1. All InfoObjects
    2. Free Selection of InfoObjects
    3. All InfoObjects of a Data Target
    4. InfoObjects not Used in Data Targets
    5. All InfoObjects of an InfoObject Catelog
    Which one I need to pick?  I picked "All InfoObjects", then click Maintain button to get to the next screen, it lists all InfoObjects, can't find any button or menu to pick only unactivated InfoObjects to activate.
    Thanks

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

    Hi
    How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
    Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
    Regards
    Paru

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
    Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
    You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
    using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?

    Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?
    For example, I'm editing Symbol_1, then I move to Symbol_22. Now to get back to Symbol_1 I need to find it again in the Library and double-click on it. Is there a shortcut for that?

    No, but you can always use the library search option to widdle down the number of items displayed. It'd be a good feature request as I find myself hopping between specific movieclip depths on common clips often. Sort of like a clip/depth bookmark.

  • Are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

    are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

    The cq:listeners node of a component's cq:EditConfig has a number of events that fire with relation to the edit mode drag'n'drop stuff. You would probably want to hook one or more of the insert ones (beforeinsert, beforechildinsert, afterinsert, afterchildinsert).

  • An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  My OS is Windows 7.

    I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop.  The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places.  I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer.  Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works.  I've tried both ways over and over.  Cannot figure out what the problem is.  I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all.  Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong?  My OS is Windows 7, using IE9.  Thanks.
    ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE:  I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes.  The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help. 

  • File can not be moved by drag and drop in the finder when not open Finder windows

    With the operating system OSX Snow Leopard, it was possible, for example, a file from the desktop to pull drag and drop on the Finder icon, the page opened after a short and you could put the file in a folder.
    At this stage I must first open the Finder to drag a file into the destination folder.
    Is it a setting or is there anything wrong with my Mountain Lion properly?
    It is often the case that several windows of other applications are open or in Fullscreen are, then I would, as I also already knew and am accustomed, for example a file regardless of the location from which drag drag and drop in the Finder without leaving the / program / ​​site to open the Finder, before returning to the file then select I wanted to move.
    Note: For all other programs it works.
    Finder not only in where it makes the most sense.
       Picture 1: Finder window opens when you drag a file to the Finder icon
       Picture 2: Finder icon flashes but the Finder window does not open. Finder windows have previously by clicking on the icon in the Dock will be open to pull a      file into it.
       Thanks in advance for your help :-)

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".
    You can file feedback here.
