Task Panes

Tina Clarke


There are seventeen Task Panes in Expression Web and each serves a purpose. However you won't use all of them all of the time. Determine which one's you use the most and leave them set up for your constant usage.

How Task Panes are displayed

The Task Panes are set into six groups and each group is merged by default when you first open them. They actually occupy the same space but appear one behind the other and you just select the task pane tab you want and you click the Maximise icon so that task pane appears full length and the other task panes are stacked. If you want to move any task pane to another position just right click on the tab and select Float, what's more you can drag that task pane anywhere you want even outside the program.

There are quite a few ways to display them I prefer my task panes stacked on the left hand side.

You can dock the task pane either horizontally or vertically and the Editing Window will resize to accommodate it. If you want prevent it docking just hold down the Control Key on the keyboard when you drag the Task Pane.

However you left your Task Panes the last time is how they will be next time you open EW.

To open a Task Pane you select the one you want from the Task Panes menu.

Tip: If you see a check mark on the Task Panes menu that means you should see a task pane in your workspace. If you can't see it, it will be merged with other Task Panes so just click that task pane to make it visible
