Thanks for your response.  Is there any variable to set to make this
work?

I pasted this snippet into Word,

  ** New user option 'mouse-drag-and-drop-region-cross-program'.
  If non-nil, this option allows dragging text in the region from Emacs to another program.

marked it, and tried to d-n-d it into *scratch* buffer and see a `nay'
symbol.

Best, Arash
