I tried Scrivener a few years ago and liked it, except that it didn't have drag-and-drop text edit like Word and the others. So I didn't buy it, as that's how I edit.
Does anyone know if the later versions have it. I'm not interested in work-arounds, just highlight it, grab it and drop it.

I have the Windows Scrivener version 3.1.3 and it has text drag and drop. My only issue is if I double click a word and reposition it between two other words and drop it. The resulting words will not be spaced correctly. It seems like a simple programming thing to correct this, but it may not be on their radar.
Thanks.
Yes, it does. I downloaded the new version and tried it. They fixed the problem.
I'm so busy right now getting a manuscript ready to mail I don't have time to import it and tinker with it, but I'll use it for my next project. I like how it automatically takes my Word scene bookmarks and turns them into sections.
Yes, drag and drop in the Editor is not a problem in 3.2.3. Hasn't been for a while, so you've been missing out on the functionality of Scrivener.
Drag and drop also works from the Editor to the Binder to create new documents, from the Binder to the Editor to create a Document Link, from one Binder to another to create a copy in another Project.
Also, drag text into the Notes or Synopsys panes, create Bookmarks, Snapshots Comments and Footnotes.
You can even drag and drop to the Trash.
