Hi, as you move panels, and come close to the edge of the interface, a blue highlitght lets you know that the panel will stick there. see: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/managing-panels-photoshop-cc/

Maybe you want the Documents window(s) docked instead of floating like in your screenshots.

 

With a document open go to Window>Arrange>Consolidate All to Tabs.

 

If that's what you want, then you can always have your files open as tabs by going to

Adobe Photoshop 2023>Settings>Workspace>Open Documents as Tabs

I enlarged  the dpi to 250. Will these work or do I need to redo? = 10" wide.

Thank you.

Ann, I am sorry to be a pain, but the dpi doesn't make any difference.  We are only interested in the size in pixels.  I'm a Windows user so don't know how you take a screen shot on a Mac.  On Windows we usually press the Print Screen key, that copies the screen to the clipboard. 

 

My main screen is 2560 x 1440 pixels.  The active part of your upload is 303 x 360 pixels and way to burred to have the first clue what we are looking at.  

 

We also need to see the Entire workspace with layers panel visible.  Something like this

Try and describe your issue again, with as much detail as you can.  If English is not your first language, use your own language and we'll use the translate function.  The more you tell us, the better the chance of a useful answer for you.

Thanks again. Trying again. Is this better?
1. I want my Layers, Color, Character, Paragraph palettes attached to R
side of workspace. Plz see 1st one. So that if I move the R side of the
workspace, the palettes go with the R side as default. But instead, they
are staying stuck and not moving with the R side of the workspace. Even
tried setting new workspace.

2. Want default font size to be 18 but it keeps coming in as 300 whether
open new page or open one created before with the smaller size font.

3. Is there a way to get rid of these explanation tools windows when I
click on a tool. Don't need the tools explained.

4. Is there a way to change save as so goes to jpeg or psd or what I want
instead of having to save as a copy to get what I want.

Thanks for providing the screen shots, but unfortunately, they are no help because they are too small to see what is going on.  You need to provide full resolution screen shots of your entire workspace showing layers panel and anything else relevant to your issue.
