Do you have Quicklaunch enabled? Also what OS? What "Toolbar"--a screen shot perhaps?

Confirmed, only the document canvas or the Start Center's canvas parse drag-n-drop actions--as does the application frame (depending on OS/DE).

But, isn't that enough? Not sure we gain anything with complexity of adding drag-n-drop target to Start Center tabbar, Toolbars, Sidebar decks, Status bar etc.

To me a WONTFIX.

Is there any way to drop a file to the Writer window that will open the dropped file instead of creating a section from that file?
