Tools window doesn't Dock

Question

I have the tools window that floats everywhere. It will not dock to the main window. It stays in place when resizing the window, so at times, it is floating off in no-mans land or over my content. I have searched the forums, but in this newst verstion of indesign, there is no Window > Application Frame. How can I dock it to the main window?

Tell us more about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

If this happens with more than one document, I'd suggest restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. Here's how:

If this is only happening in one file, you should save the file as IDML (File > Save As > InDesign CS4 or Later [IDML] try to remove corruption. Then open the IDML in InDesign.
