Never had this problem with 2003. But, with 2007...

Whenever I select a chunk of text and then right-click for the context
menu, 98% (or more) of the time I end up with the Move Here | Copy
Here context rather than the Editing context. To say this is annoying
is being incredibly polite! I've discovered that if I go into Options
| Advanced | Editing Options and disable 'allow text to be dragged and
dropped' the problem goes away; as does the ability to drag and drop,
which is entirely unacceptable.

The question, then, is one of whether there is any way to desensitize
the Move Here | Copy Here context so one can drag and drop AND easily
access the Editing context? A registry parameter, perhaps?

I agree with this wholly and entirely. When i right click on an
outline of an image or textart et the object tends to mov o get
dislocated marginally almost always and i do have steady hands....

Wish that it did, but no luck. Running under XP, where the
Compatibility tab does not even have a "Disable desktop composition"
option.

Does it happen if you use the right click button on your keyboard rather
than the mouse? (If you aren't sure which button that is, there's a pic
here:
