Eudora User Manual Tabbed Windows

As described later in this section, you can reorganize these def ault tabbed windows any
way you like. Your newly arranged tabbed window will be preserved when you quit and
restart Eudora.
Note. Due to file format incompatibilities, if you upgrade from a pre-4.0 version of Eudora,
you will lose the previous docking state of your Mailboxes window and toolbar. Eudora will
reset the toolbar and docking states to the default configuration noted above. However,
customized toolbar information is preserved; only the size and location of your toolbar may
change.
Opening and Activating Tabbed Windows
To open a tabbed window that’s hidden, open any of its member windows by selecting the
appropriate command from the Tools menu. The tabbed window opens with the selected
window as the active (frontmost) window.
If the tabbed window is already visible and you wish to display one of its member windows
that is currently not active, simply click the member window’s tab. You can also select the
appropriate item from the Tools menu. The desired window comes to the front of the
tabbed group.
You can also use the tool window’s keyboard shortcut, if it has one, to open or activate the
tool window in its tabbed window.
Reorganizing Tabbed Windows
You are not restricted to the default tabbed window arrangements supplied with Eudora.
You can mix and match tabbed windows any way you like.
At one extreme, you can have each of the tool windows in its own container with its own
tab. At the other extreme, you can have all tool windows combined into one t abbed
window. In between, you can have multiple tabbed windows open at once, mixed and
matched to suit your purposes.
To move a window from one tabbed group to another, drag the window tab from the first
group and drop it onto the second.
While the drag operation is in progress, the cursor changes and Eud ora displays a small
ghosted rectangle when you are over a valid drop location.
If you drop the window tab onto another tab in the second group, the new window tab is
inserted at that position and the other tabs are displaced to accommo date it. If you don’t
drop the tab onto an existing tab, Eudora adds the new tab at the “end” of the group of
existing tabs. The end depends on the location of the tabs in the tabbed window: to p,
bottom (the default), left, or right. For example, with tabs along the bottom, the “end” is the
far right.
Note that the relocated window takes on the window state — normal, docked, or floa ting
— of the destination tabbed window.
To reorganize the left-to-right or top-to-bottom order of tabs within a tabbed window, just
drag the tabs left and right or top and bottom. The drop scheme is the same as that
described above.
