Hi all

Apologies, very basic question but I'm new to Flare.
When I double click to open a topic to work on, they used to open in tabs along the top of the window. I accidentally dragged one of the topics down, and it opened in a separate window.
Now all topics open in separate windows. How do I get them to open in tabs again? I have tried just about everything - except the right thing!

Thanks
Laura

I'm going on memory, so bear with me.

On the Window tab, look for the command that will allow you to reload the default (as in "factory") layout. That should get you the tabs back. I also suggest that you look to see if the check box that reads something like "Auto-save layout" is NOT selected so that Flare doesn't automatically (and unhelpfully, in my view) save temporary layout changes you may make, such as floating a topic as you had.

HTH

Many thanks for that Nina, another tip added to my growing list!
