How do I format Visio Task Panes?

Question

I like to use the Pan & Zoom window. Normally it appears as a square in the lower right side of the screen and disappears after a few seconds of non-use. Now it is a page wide rectangle on the bottom or side of the screen and stays pinned.

How do I format not only that window, but the size and position window and the rest of the task panes to their original format?

Thanks!

Thanks Paul

Answer 2

There's no such thing as formatting for these windowa.

Select Float Window.

When you've done that you will find a different option, Anchor Window.

Answer 3

Hi Paul, Thanks for your response.

I cannot drag the window, it stays locked into place and when I right click the only options are Float Window and Close. So the formatting of the pane itself is broken, but I can't figure out where those settings are.

Any help finding them would be very much appreciated.

When the Pan & Zoom window is floating it has a pin to control autohide. Drag the window into the middle of the screen, right-click its header, then select Anchor Window. Now you can see the pin to control Autohide.
