towardwhereyouwantthetooltobelocated. Asyoudragthetool,
an outline of it appears. When the outline nears a position where
you can keep it, the outline snaps to that location. Release the mouse
button. The tool stays at the new location. O ther tools in the desktop
resize to accommodate the new configuration. The inside edges of

can position a tool along any inside edge. See more details online.

resize accordingly. Another way to undock is by using the Undock
