The tab pane, or individual tabs can be docked against any of the Editor's edges. When you drag a tab over one of the docking icons a shaded rectangle identifies where the tab will docked.
Any changes you make to the tab locations will be remembered by the Editor, and will be displayed in the same location when you open the Editor again. You can use the Reset Panels option on the Editor's View tab to return all of the tabs to their original location.
Note: If you open a topic in the Editor (compared to opening a book in the Editor) you can move the tabs for that particular window. Any changes you make will not affect the layout in the Editor when you open a book.
When you dock the tabs around the Editor the following icons are displayed:
This Icon | Does This |
| Drop a tab onto one of the icons to dock the tab inside the topic pane. |
| Drop a tab onto one of the individual icons to dock it in the outer edges of the editor window. |
| Drop a tab onto one four outside pane icons to create a stacked tab pane. (The pane icons appear when you drag a tab onto another tab.) Drop a tab onto the center icon to create a nested tab pane. |
