Hi,
When I open Excel 2003, the task pane is across the top of the work area.
How do I move it to the side?
I am unable to pick it up like a taskbar and drag it to where I want it.

Regards
Stan.

Move the cursor around near the top of the taskbar title bar until you get a
4-headed cross.

Click on that and drag to the side.

Hi Gord,
I am able to get the 4-headed cross but can not move the task pane.

Sometimes it is hard to do but persevere.

You may have to drag it quite far down to the right to get it to move.

I find if I point and click just above and to the right of the close icon(the
"x") and drag from there it pops back into place down the side.
