Properties panel is half-blanked in DW6

I cannot see any way to recover the right-hand half of the missing panel, which makes controlling the coding process very difficult. I have tried moving, closing/opening the panel. The problem remains whichever Workspace I use. So there is something wrong with the way that Panels are managed? Can anyone help. I am using DW6.

Are you using a high DPI monitor by chance?

You'll have to change the font scaling at your OS level if you are. DW Cs6 is not High DPI aware.

The DW6 installation was working for quite a time before it decided (or I fritzed it inintentionally?) to lose half the "Properties" panel. No other features are affected. 

I did try resetting font/screen DPI at OS level, just in case, but no joy I'm afraid.

    Apologies for responding before trying once more at OS level font scaling. You are right and I thank you. What I had changed earlier was the font scaling to 150% as I am now working mostly on a mid-sized laptop.  It is just as well I have recently changed the prescription for my glasses...

    I cannot see the solution you suggested to this problem of a lost half of the Properties Panel?

    You will see the missing helf in the attached image. Any help would be VERY welcome as formatting has become a real chore with the loss of options in the marked area.

    I should add DW6 is the version of software I have installed.
