When moving the menu bar and toolbars

The menu bar and toolbars appear at the top of the window by default. You can also move the menu bar and toolbars from the top of the window to each side of the window (top/bottom/right/left). However, you cannot move the zoom toolbar sideways.

  1. Select the "Rearrangable" check box

    Confirm that the Rearrangable check box is selected in the right-click menu of the menu bar or toolbar area. Select it if it is off.
