Are you implying that Rudy Giuliani is a mad cow? Because if you are you should remember that he was also a lawyer ... and probably still knows quite a few ...

Mad - possibly. A cow - definitely not.

At dinner on Friday night, Snoop Dogg's name was mentioned, then Willie Nelson, then Kris Kristofferson as an outlaw. I hadn't heard that name in years.

Can I ask for a small favor from one who has got a recent version of MS Word?
I discovered not too long ago why my 2013 vintage Word sometimes refuses to drag a marked area to a new position: If there is an open search & replace box, it won't do it. (Don't ask me why - it makes no logical sense to me!) My friend is still using Word 2003: It has the same bug; it is not a regression over those ten years. Nor was the bug fixed in those ten years.
So I am curious: Has it been fixed during the next ten years? Would one of you, using a 2023-24 release test it: Open a search&replace box and leave it open while marking (double clicking) a word, and drag the word to a new position. Does it work? Or is the bug still present after alt least 20 years?
No, I am not tempted to report the bug in Word 2013 to Microsoft

Not sure what version I have (not 365) but certainly newer.
Does it do it? No.
Is it a bug? No. It shows a 'not allowed' icon when I attempt it so it is defined behavior.

Just noting that as a touch typist I would never do that anyways. Never attempted even long ago when I still needed to look at the keyboard.

Or possibly: It is certainly not intended, but the root cause may lie so deep in the design that it is not realistic to fix the bug. But they are able to catch it, and glossy over with a 'Not allowed' message.
Well, at least they have discovered it and done something about it, but I would hardly say 'fixed it'.
Thanks for the information.
I cannot see any reason whatsoever why it shouldn't be allowed. Instead of dragging the marked text to a new location, I can hit Ctrl-X, click the new position, Ctrl-V. That is allowed, causing exactly the same result as dragging.
You can state good reasons why you are not allowed to change a C# enumerable data structure within a foreach loop on that enumerable. I see no similar reason with a search box, when no search is in operation. Besides, if there was a similar reason, then Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V should be forbidden as well.

When typing the text for the first time, I always use Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V. But when I review what I have written, deciding to move paragraphs, sentences and words around (that happens quite often), my hand is constantly on the mouse for selecting the relevant text. Moving my hands over to the keyboard just for the Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V is much slower.

Microsoft 365 display "not allowed" icon (circle with bar) as I try to drag the word.
So it's intended, although perhaps undesired, behaviour and not bug.

COBOL, FORTRAN?

How was switching from one generation of languages to another?
Was it a hurdle or a natural evolution as the computers got better.
