It's been a while since I wanted to post this, I had the hardest time trying to find out how to dock the navigator in Openoffice 1.x. Finally I landed in a lost post in the [Openoffice forums](http://www.oooforum.org/) telling how to do it.

The thing is that usually when you want to dock something, what you do is drag the floating window near the edge you want it docked. Well, this isn't Openoffice's case.

This is what you start with

This is how you do it... **Ctrl + Double click** on an empty space of the floating window, now this is a tad unusual and I would have never figured it out if it wasn't for that post :P

That's the way (uhuh, uhuh) I like it
