How to make Navigation Pane open embedded within an existing window instead of in its own separate window? Word 2013

I accidentally hit something that is making the Navigation Pane open in its own separate window. It's very confusing. I want it to be embedded within the window of my document the way that the Reviewing Pane is. How to fix this?

    To add to what Anthony said, you can drag the Navigation pane by the title bar, but just dragging it to the left edge of the Word window will not dock it. You have to actually drag it beyond the edge of the window. When you get about halfway (only half of the pane is visible), it will snap into place.

    You can drag the top of the Navigation Pane to the left side of the Word window, and that will get you back to the way it worked with the default Word 2013 installation.  If you want, you can also drag the Navigation Pane to the right side of the Word window.  If need be, you can also drag the Navigation Pane to any other position that you want (not to the far left or the far right), and then the Navigation Pane will be in a separate moveable window.
