Help Please
 
Ok here is what I want to do:
I have 5 windows. MAIN, tells, rambles, lagcheck, World rotation.
What I want to do is set them up as follows
Tells and rambles tabbed together and placed in the righthand top half opf the screnn, rotation and lag tabbed and placed on the lefthand top half and then the bottom all main window.

Is this possible?
I can set them up at present with 1 of each up the top, the problem seems to be trying to set the tabbed ones up.

If possible can anyone tell me how?

Thanks Remus

Quick 2 step process (if I can make my self clear!):
Make sure you aren't using a layout
Layout->Auto Tiling->None

Quickly set up the windows for moving:
Layout->Quick Tiling->Multi Tabbed

This will put your child windows all tabbed at the top and the main
at the bottom.

Now drag and drop the tab of Tells to where you get a grey line
showing where it is to move, divides the top window and let go.

Now drag and drop Rambles so that the grey line showing where it is to
move is a square inside the Tells window.

If you play one mud at a time you can then save your layout.

Obviously I am doing it wrong or I have a problem. When I do what you said the windows just vanish into the void.

Dont know what to say. Tried the process and it works for me

Play around with docking your windows and try to identify the sticky grey boxes that show up to give you an idea where the window is going to be placed.

Ok got it to work, here is what I found out you need to do as well as what Kjata told me.
Go into Preferences/Windows and set Window Tabs in Menu Window. As soon as I did that I could dock windows all over the place.

Anyways
