Default Docking the Styles Menu

The expanded styles menu in my present instance of Word floats over the
document. I want it to dock to the right of the document and be beside it,
not floating over it so that I can leave that menu open all the time. I have
it that way in my other Word installations, but cannot remember how I
accomplished that. How do I get it to dock the the right of the document
window. I understand that reduces the size of the document window, but I use
styles so extensively that I need that window open and not in the way of
seeing the document.

Thanks in advance.

Default Docking the Styles Menu

Hi Dan,

Generally, grabbing the title bar of a Word task pane with the mouse, then drag it and 'slam' it into one of the edges of the
screen/Word app window should dock it for you.

Thanks. I actually dragged it outside the scrollbar, and that docked it.
