Thank you, Daniel. My screen looks completely different from your screenshot. I wanted to enclose 2 of mine but first I have to find out how to do that. Anyway, on top of my column is a bell (for notifications) but no close icon.This is not a a basic problem but it is unnerving.

Thanks again.

My screen looks like yours I think, I just did not include the bell and the user name in the screenshot. If you mouse over the little tabs, the windows pop out, and you can close them by clicking on the X. The windows manager Studio uses takes a bit to get used to, but it's actually very powerful. Maybe this is a good starting point: https://signsandsymptomsoftranslation.com/2016/12/20/studio-2017-layout/

Thank you again, Daniel, and thank you for the very interesting link. The screenshot in that link looks very much like mine, but it is without my two columns on the right-hand side which I don't need anyway. My immediate problem is that I don't know how to insert screenshots here, and I didn't find any instructions. I'm sure it is is simple, but how??

In addition to the very helpful video from Stepan Konev you can also simply copy/paste your images in.  So copy the screen to your clipboard and then simply paste into your forum reply.

Dear Paul and dear Stepan,

You must think I'm an absolute beginner, although I started with Trados more than 20 years ago, and most of the time I have been learning by doing. Where do I find the clipboard for copying my screen? Please excuse this stupid question.

I wish you a nice and sunny Sunday, like here in Berlin

Hi Ingrid,

Here are some instructions for you:

Copy-the-window-or-screen-contents

Using computers is something one learns bit by bit according to need, so this doesn't mean you're a beginner, just that you've just never needed to do this before.

Have a super Sunday,

All the best,

Ali

Thank you, Ali. I have these screenshots all ready for copying but when I want to insert them in my text here, the insert function is greyed out. That is to say: now it's not greyed out any more... Technology always has a mind of its own.

Now I will repeat my question: How can I rearrange my screen so that the 2 columns on the right are not shown (I never look at the document structure, and I don't need notifications, useful tips etc. ). I'm sure I would find instructions in the huge Manual but that would take very long.

Now another try with the screenshots, for illustration purposes. 

By the way, now I know what my mistake was. Of course, very stupid, but I will not go into the details. Thanks to all of you for your patience and the replies, and I also wish you a super Sunday.

Not at all.

Press the cross here

Hi Stepan,

Thank you so much! It was so simple, I just had to press the cross sign whenever "useful tips" or "notifications" or "filters" popped up. I gave up too soon. Really so simple, but why is there this column in the first place??

Best regards

Ingrid
