Docking windows
Some tools in OpenOffice.org open in popups that are dockable, such as the Styles and
Formatting window, the Navigator and the Gallery. These floating windows may be docked at
either the left or right edges of the main OpenOffice.org window.
To dock one of these windows, drag the title bar of the window to the edge until an outline
appears. This outline indicates the size and position of the pane that will contain the tool
when the mouse button is released. Another window may also be docked adjacent to one
which is already docked. Users can choose to have one on top of the other or side by side. As
a window is moved, note that an outline displays showing where the window will dock and
how big it will be.
To undock a tool and make it a floating window again, point to the grey area of the tools
toolbar and drag the tool away from the edge until the outline indicates that it is no longer
attached.
Changing the Visibility of Buttons on Toolbars
Tools and functions are initially grouped together on a default set of toolbars. Not all buttons
are visible by default.
To quickly make a button visible or not on its toolbar:
1. Click on the small down arrow at the far right of the toolbar and select Visible Buttons.
2. Toggle the checked status of the button. Make sure to click the down-arrow appropriate
to the toolbar because toolbars may be placed side-by-side.
Note: While buttons may be moved or duplicated across toolbars, or new toolbars may be created or removed
completely, we will start with just the OpenOffice.org provided toolbars.
