Repostion Clip Library

Post by Jude »

I have just upgraded to TextPad 5.2.0, and on a new machine. The Clip Library now seems to be permanently docked across the top of the page, instead of to the left.

I can move it to the left, but it doesn't dock, it just sits/floats over top of the open file.

Can anyone help me please. I've followed instruction from the Help file, but it doesn't work.

The following post refers to the Document selector, but the solution is the same:

Thanks for your reply, but it is still not working.

By default the clip library and document selector seem to be docked to horizontal position at the top of the page.

I have moved both, and re-sized both (because the box needs to be re-sized to run vertically if it is to be docked to the left.)

I have placed them over the graphic with the little arrow that appears to the left when I begin to drag them, but they just sit on top of the open document.

So, as suggested I double click on the top coloured border, and back it goes to run horizontally across the top of the page. Yep, sure it toggles, if I double click again it returns to floating at the left, but I cannot get it to dock at the left.

I'd be grateful if someone had a solution, it seems a small thing, but for many years I have used textpad, and have developed a good working pattern with library and document selector docked to the left of my screen. And this little thing is frustrating me.

Forget last post!

I just tried again, this time without re-sizing and it worked!

Sorry for taking up your time.
