Thanks, Hélène The task pane has a "title bar", and at the left end of the title bar is a stack of three dots. Position the mouse cursor over the dots, so the cursor changes to a four-way arrow. Click there and drag to the upper right part of the Word window, approximately where the top of the vertical scrollbar is. You may have to drag almost out of the window. The task pane should re-dock on the right. The task pane, the toolbars, and the menu bar can all be docked on any of the four sides of the window, or floated in the middle, in the same way. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

This can be very perplexing. It is possible to drag it back to the side, but
it takes a bit of trial and error to get it to just the point where it will dock. ISTR that if you try to dock it at the top corner of the screen, it won't work; you have to dock it below the existing toolbars (or maybe it was the other way around). -- Suzanne S.

Any other suggestions? Thanks. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This can be very perplexing.

Hi Hélène, If the cursor didn't turn into a four-way arrow, you haven't found the stack of dots in the top left corner. With the left mouse button pressed, drag the work pane down. It may take a few seconds until something happens. Docking it at the right-hand side again is tricky, as Suzanne said. For me, it works when I drag the mouse cursor to the top right corner of the screen, and then slide it down along the right edge. Good luck! Klaus |
