Changing the layout of the window
By default, the window layout is locked to prevent accidental changes, so before making any changes such as moving panes or toolbars, you need to unlock it. You can resize panes and hide them without unlocking the window layout.
Resizing panes
Drag the dividing line between panes.
Hiding a pane or toolbar
1 On the View menu, click Toolbars.
2 Deselect the pane or toolbar you want to hide.
3 Alternatively, with the pane at the front of the window, or with the toolbar in a floating location, choose the Close button on the pane.
Displaying a hidden pane or toolbar
1 On the View menu, click Toolbars.
A list of the panes or toolbars available appears. Items that are displayed are indicated by a check mark.
2 Click the items that you want to display.
Unlocking the layout
1 On the Tools menu, click Options.
2 On the General tab, select Allow docking and undocking of window panes, and then click OK.
You may want to lock the layout again after you have finished changing it.
Moving panes
Click the title bar of the pane, and then drag it to the new location.
Moving a toolbar
Click the left edge of the toolbar, and then drag it to the new location.
You can leave the toolbar floating on top of the window, or drag it to the top, side or bottom of the window, and drop it to dock it in position.
Reverting to the default layout
On the View menu, click Restore Default Layout.
