I'd like to be able to create a to-do list where I can rearrange and
reprioritize entries via drag-and-drop. I have something like that with
Ta-Da, but I'd like to NOT have to go online, sign in, etc every time I want
to adjust or edit my to-do list.

Is your to-do list in Word 2007 and stored on your hard drive? If so, why
are you going online?

"Ta-Da" is an online to-do-list service, where lists can be rearranged by
drag-and-drop. I like that, but it's inconvenient to have to go online to
use the service.

So, as I said, I'd like to NOT have to go online. If I can do the same
thing with a to-do list in Word 2007 on my desktop or notebook, it would be
much more convenient and accessible.

There's a checkbox on Word 2007 that supposedly enables drag-and-drop. But
when it's checked, drag-and-drop STILL doesn't seem to work. (Searching for
similar queries in the discussion groups here, this seems to be a problem
just about across the board. Whatever that checkbox does, if anything, it
DOESN'T enable drag-and-drop.)

So, once again I"m asking: Is there a way to make a to-do list in Word 2007
that can be rearranged via drag-and-drop? Thanks.

FWIW, I've never had a problem with Drag'n'Drop. Note that it doesn't
work when some panels are open, such as Cross Reference and Find.

Even when Cross Reference and Find are closed, I'm still not able to
drag-and-drop.
