Docking the CommandManager

monitor, or dock it vertically to the left or right. To undock it, click and drag on any tab of the
CommandManager. To redock an undocked CommandManager double-click the title area. To
change its docking location, drag it onto one of the docking stations around the screen. Figure 2.4
