The Research
task pane is convenient for conducting all kinds of research, but it
has one drawback: it can get in the way. You can, however, open and
close the Research task pane very easily. And you can move, resize, and
dock it as well with a few simple techniques.
1. Open, Resize, Move, Dock, and Close the Research Task Pane
