HOBOKEN, N.J., Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and Microsoft 365 expert, explains how to manage tabbed task panes in Microsoft 365 apps in a new article. The informative article first describes how some of the powerful Microsoft 365 tools such as Editor, Design Ideas, and Help can cause screen clutter.
The author then discusses the difference between Task Panes and Dialog Boxes. He continues to share how the new tabbed Task Panes free up screen real estate. He concludes by explaining how individual users customize the pane layout by resizing a Task Pane and creating a floating Task Pane and re-docking it.
"With the introduction of tabbed panes, Microsoft has streamlined pane management, decluttering the screen," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "With this and other customization options, users gain control over their workspace, placing the focus back on the content."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Tabbed Task Panes in Microsoft 365 Reduce Clutter, Free up Screen Real Estate."
Task Panes vs. Dialog Boxes
"Microsoft uses task panes instead of dialog boxes for features that offer more complex options or that need to remain open. For example, a Word user may search Help for instructions on creating a custom table of contents. The Help task pane remains open on the screen, allowing the user to reference the instructions while completing the steps."
Tabbed Task Panes Free Up Screen Real Estate
"However, task panes occupy significant space on the screen. And with two or more task panes open at once, the panes may obscure a large part of the slide or document page. Tabbed panes solve this problem."
"For instance, when a Word user opens the Editor to check grammar, the Editor task pane appears on the right edge of the window. If the user also opens the Help pane, it displays in place of the Editor pane. However, two icons now appear near the upper right corner, one for Editor and one for Help. The user can click the icons to toggle between the panes."
Customizing Pane Layout
"Resize a task pane – Users can make a task pane wider or narrower to display more text or free up more space. Hover the cursor over the inside left margin of the pane until the pointer becomes a double arrow. Then click the double arrow and drag it to the desired size."
