+==================================
+Configuring the Main Window
+==================================
+
+The main window is configurable.  By default there are 
+three screen layouts and each can be configured as you desire.
+To change to one of the screen layouts, use the :ref:`menu_items_view` menu.
+
+Hiding the window items
+==============================
+
+The first way to configure the main window is to Hide
+items that are not used.  
+
+If you are not using the Projector Manager, having it open 
+all the time uses up part of the window that could be
+used for other items.  To hide the Projector Manager, or any 
+other item, left click on the 'X' in the right corner of 
+the item.  You can also use the :ref:`menu_items_view` menu to hide or show 
+any of the main window items.
+
+Re-Sizing the window items
+=================================
+
+If you use the item part of the time, you can re-size the item 
+in the same manner you re-size any window on the desktop
+by placing your pointer over the edge of the item and pulling
+the edge in or out to re-size the item .
+
+Change the Location of an item in the window
+===================================================
+
+There are four zones the items can be located in addition to 
+keeping the item as a seperate window. 
+
+1. Left Side of the window
+2. Right Side of the window
+3. Top of the window
+4. Bottom of the window
+
+To move an item, move the mouse over the item title bar and press 
+and hold the left mouse button while draging the item to a new 
+location.  When the item is in a location that the item can be
+located at, the area will turn blue to indicate the item can be placed 
+at that location.  Releasing the left mouse button will place the 
+item at that location.

+
+Tab Locating an item
+====================
+
+By default the items in the main window are located above, 
+below or to the side of other items in the window.  Most of the 
+items can also be located in a Tab arrangement.  This arrangement 
+allows the item to be full sized, and to be viewed by selecting
+a Tab at the bottom of another item in the window.
+

+
+To create a Tab located item, move the mouse over the item title 
+bar then press and hold the left mouse button while draging the 
+item to a new location on top of another item in the window.  When 
+the item is in a location that the item can be placed at, the area 
+will turn blue to indicate the item can be located at that location.  
+Releasing the left mouse button will create the Tab location with 
+the item you moved and the item or items displayed in blue.

+
+Locking and Un-Locking the panels
+=================================
+
+To prevent the panels from changing accidently you can lock the
+panels.  After you have made your changes to the panels, lock the 
+panels using the :ref:`menu_items_view` menu Lock Panels menu item. 
+By selecting the Lock Panels menu item a second time you can 
+unlock the panels.
