Reposition toolbars

Use drag and drop to re-position toolbars:

• In relation to each other within the top, bottom, right, or left location.

1.         Move the cursor over the "grab bar" (shaded dots) of a toolbar. If a toolbar is at the top or bottom of the client window, the grab bar is on the left; for example,     If a toolbar is at the right or left, the grab bar is at the top.

2.         When the cursor becomes a 4-pointed arrow, click and hold the grab bar, and then drag and drop the toolbar to a different position.
