Q.I have double-clicked on the Gantt tab on the main tab bar, so that the Gantt chart has become a single undocked window.  Now, as I move this window around the SYNCHRO screen, how do I reinstate it to the main tab?
A.To reinstate an undocked main window to the main tab, right-click in the title bar and select Move to Main Tab.  Note that the tab can then be re-ordered amongst the existing tabs by selecting and dragging.
