Window Layout

Somehow, I changed the display of my FrameMaker window.

The file list on the left is correctly placed.

The content window, though, is expanded across the rest of the window, and the catalog panels are floating on top of the content. I want the content to be expanded only as much as it is magnified, with the scroll bar at the right edge. Right now, the scroll bar is at the far right of the window. I hope I've explained this right. Just in case, I've included a screen shot.

Can you point me to the section of the help that tells me how to properly magnify or set up the window?

Hi Cindy,

It sounds like you would like your Panel Group to be anchored on the right edge of your Fm window...

If that's the case, take the dark grey bar and drag it to the edge til you see a vertical blue bar where you'd like the group to reside. If that isn't working for you, take the tab for the Catalog or other panel and drag to that desired position.
