Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011.  I can paste from Photos into Pages.  How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

  • Why can I drag and drop a file into A3, but not import it?

    With A2+ I've scanned images (Epson flatbed) and imported them as TIFF, JPG, PNG, whatever.
    Same scanner, software, and A3 refuses to import any of the above formats. However, I can drag and drop the image on a project and it works.
    Any ideas? I looked for relevant threads but didn't see any immediately.
    Thanks

    Image appears in import pane; I can assign metadata, click "import," wait about 10 seconds and it says "import completed with errors," though the file doesn't show up in project.
    I have to say it's inconsistent. I just spend 20 minutes trying to import a one scan in PNG, TIF, JPG formats, and eventually gave up and dragged it in as TIF.
    Just now, I tried importing it into a different A3 project, and the TIF worked. However the PNG (which I didn't drag into A3, still gives the above error.
    I can live with this as long as drag and drop works, but seems like a bug.

  • I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?

  • I am trying to transfer apps that are in my iTunes library to various devices through iTunes.  Music I can just drag and drop from library to device, but it will not let me do this for apps.  I'm updated to all the most recent version on devices/itunes.

    The weird things is that under my device Apps is not listed.  This is true for both my ipad and my iphone.  I do not Sync either of my devices with itunes, but do back them up.  Thanks.

    I'm guessing this is a problem unique to me as there have been no replies at all...  Thanks a bunch folks

  • Can't drag-and-drop from CD to Desktop

    I can't drag-and-drop a photo from an Iphoto CD to the Desktop. I was able to do this on my old 17"IMAC. But the new 20" won't allow me to this anymore. Once I drag it past the Iphoto window the cursor has a circle with a bar across. The MAC person at CompUSA couldn't help. Can you? His suggestion was to drag it to the Iphoto library and then drag it out of the library to the Desktop. Huh?

    In Iphoto, I select the albums I want to copy. I then hit burn CD. It then determines the amount of space needed. Then I hit burn CD again. Its begins burning the CD, then it verifies the CD, then ejects the CD when completed.
    When the CD is re-inserted, Iphoto displays it as a regular album. I select the album, then a file, and attempt to drag-and-drop that file to the desktop. The cursor appears as a circle with a bar and it won't allow a one-step drag-and drop as with the old 17" IMAC.

  • Can't drag and drop from page view

    Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page.  On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues.  Its slow and cumbersome.

    Hi Peterbruce,
    Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
    Best,

    hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

  • Why I can't drag and drop from lightroom?

    Something I would expect from asset managment soft.  Am I missing something?

    I agree, I can't see much reason for drag-and-drop to drag the unprocessed image - in other words, an image that isn't the one that you see when you drag and drop.  I can see that just filling this forum with "why the heck does it do that????????" posts.  I could be wrong, but I suspect that Adobe won't do that. 
    But if you do want to drag-and-drop the original unprocessed image, you can do it very easily now.  Right click the image, choose "show in Explorer", and then drag-and-drop from Explorer. 

  • I can't drag and drop from a data CD I recorded

    I recently burned some audiobooks files (in mp3 format) as data cd's in Toast 8.0.1. When I go to reload them back onto my 20" 2 Ghz Dual Core Intel I can't drag and drop the files directly into any folder while using the columns view in a finder window. I can do it if I drag onto the music folder and let it spring open down to the level of the folder. I also can drag the mp3's into iTunes and then into the folder. This is not CD related since I used several diff brands.
    I constantly update, backup, repair permissions, and do other maintenance so everything is up to date. I have noticed this behavior just since I started to use the program called Audiobook Builder. I am (and have always used) a non-admin user account. When this started a few months ago it seemed to go away with a restart, permission repair, or a logout but now it seems permanant. I checked user permissions on my home folder - I have not added any software since adding Audiobook Builder. Any idea's? I read something about trashing a com.apple pref but didn't try that.
    I suspect Audiobook Builder since it changes the permissions and filetype to the iTunes Audiobook filetype but have not seen anyone reference this.

  • Can I drag and drop single photos into Events?

    Hi guys. I've very recently ordered a new Mac that will have iLife 08 on it. Before I get started with it I've got a question about Events. I've been using iPhoto for the last several years, organizing my photos into albums. I've cleaned up my images to around 1,000 photos, and I plan to only use events for organization. (I don't want to use Events AND albums, don't see the point, I'm going to try using ONLY Events.) But I've got a few scenerios that I'd like to throw by you all, to see if they would work, as I'm hoping that they will...
    I don't shoot photos into pre-defined "Events", I shoot photos by what I feel like shooting. "Hey, my dog is doing something funny" - There's 3 pictures, or "Wow that's a big spider!" - 1 picture, or "My little neice is doing something cute" - There's 4 pictures. I do not want 450 events, each containing 1 - 5 pictures.
    Can I drag and drop single pictures into different events? For example, have an Event called "Friends" with pictures of my friends in it, that I put there? Or an event called "Concerts" with photos taken throughout the years?
    I hope I've made it clear what I'm looking to get out of Events!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Exactly - I think he will want to matain his existing structure -- people are making too much of the name change from rolls to events.
    I have events with one photo and events with as many as 2000 photos -- I like this better than rolls but albums, folders and keywords are still the key to granular organization - events are ust the library to hold my photos
    To me it is a small step forward that makes organization much easier (and it was not that hard before)

    PS - now if I could just get all of my edits to save - where are TD and OT to solve that one for me?

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

    My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
    I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
    I tried accessing the two  preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
    That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
    Any idea what's going on and what to do?

    There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences
