Part I: Laying the Foundations
■ (^) Setting the mode to tabbed immediately moves the window to a tabbed document
location in the center of Management Studio, adding it as a tab to any existing
documents already in the location. In effect, this makes the tool appear to become
a tab in the Query Editor. Dragging a tab to a side location creates a new tabbed
document. Any location (center, right left, top, bottom) can hold several tabbed
tools or documents. The center document location displays the tabs on the top of
the documents; the other locations display the tabs at the bottom.
■ A tabbed document area can hold more documents than there is space to display
the tabs. You can view the hidden tabs in two ways. Control + tab opens the active
tools window and scrolls through the open fi les, or the Active File arrow in the
upper right corner of the tabbed document area opens a drop-down list of the tabs.
■ While a dockable window is being moved, Management Studio displays several blue
docking indicators. Dropping a window on the arrow docks it in the selected loca-
tion. Dropping the window on the center blue spot adds the window to the center
location as a tabbed document. See Figure 5-1.
When dropping a window onto the arrow, make sure the cursor has to be over the arrow, or it won’t work.

area indicates where the dropped window will be placed.
