[Solved] Removing styles window

Post by writ »

Hi,

format>>styles and formatting

The window with the various styles appears on the extreme right of the page.There is no X to click to get rid of it.It is in a fixed position there and can't be moved or removed.

This causes the screen to be reduced by about 30%

I did something to cause this.Before I could move the window around and it wasn't fixed to the page,and I had a full screen to work with.

So I would like to work with this window where it allows me to move it around and also maintain a full screen at the same time.Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help

F11 gets rid of the window,but when I call the window back up it goes into the fixed position again.

Before today I could move this window around,and it had a x to close it.That is where I would like to get back too,thanks for your input.

Edit:

The styles window allowed me to pull it with the mouse to the extreme right collapsing as it moved toward the edge of the page and then right off the screen.To get the styles window back on the screen I reduced the size of the main window then expanded the edge of the window and the styles window appeared,I then dragged the styles window into the the main window it is not fixed anymore and has the x to remove it.

There must be a easier way to do this,but it worked.

CTRL + SHIFT +F10 toggles between a floating and docked Styles and Formatting Window.
