I am used to seeing two windows on the left; one over the other. Then Tools up from the bottom and code on the right with all windows sizing in unison. That always felt like that was the default.

But somethings changed in my editor. When I opened the edited recently I noticed that the interface had changed, with windows fully docked, the Proj Exp appears at the top of the window and can only be sized horizontally. Tools come up from the bottom.

I thought all I needed to do was change the Tile option in Windows/tile command, but nothing happens when I toggle between Horz/Vert.

For now, I've Undocked the windows so I can put them where I want them, but they are completely independent. In the "default" resizing one changed the others changed in the opposite direction.

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Window>Tiles is for code/userform windows.

If you want to the VBE to the default view open regedit and remove the Dock key from HKEY_USERS\. Default\Software\Microsoft\VBA\Office.

As I understand it Windows/Tiles... simply forces the tiles in the editor to arrange themselves vertically or horizontally. But the only arrangement I get is horizontal. Nothing happens when I select Vertical.

I really hate messing around in the register and always avoid going there if at all possible, is there no other way? I mean what could have happened that would require such invasive action? What could have caused the default UI to change and why can't it be reset to the default from within the program settings?
