Customizing Window Layouts
If none of the existing layouts meet your needs, you can create and save additional
window layouts that you’ve arranged yourself. There are two types of window layouts
you can create:
 Custom layouts: You can create up to two layouts that are available in the Arrange
menu as Custom Layout 1 and Custom Layout 2.
 Saved layouts: You can create numerous window layouts that you name and then
save to your hard disk. Once you’ve saved a new window layout, it appears at the
bottom of the Arrange submenu of the Window menu. If you’ve saved multiple
custom window layouts, the first five appear in alphabetical order at the bottom
of this menu.
