To dock a window, do one of the
following:
• Click on the title bar of the
floating window and drag it to
the side until you see the outline
of a box appear in the main
window (see Figure 6) and then
release the window. This method
depends on your system’s
window manager settings, so it
may not work for you.
• Hold down the Control key and
double-click on a vacant part of
the floating window to dock it in
its last position. If that does not
work, try double-clicking
without using the Control key.
To undock a window, hold down the
Control key and double-click on a
vacant part of the docked window.

Note
The Styles and Formatting window can also be docked or
undocked by using Control+double-click on the gray area next to
the icons at the top of the window.
Customizing toolbars
You can customize toolbars in several ways, including choosing which
icons are visible and locking the position of a docked toolbar. You can
also add icons and create new toolbars, as described in Appendix B.
To access a toolbar’s customization options, use the down-arrow at the
end of the toolbar or on its title bar (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: Customizing toolbars
To show or hide icons defined for the selected toolbar, choose Visible
Buttons from the drop-down menu. Visible icons have a checkmark
next to them. Click on icons to select or deselect them.
