Somehow,.... I don't know how, my "linked Notes" window has started to dock on top of my screen.  It cannot be moved, sized, or otherwise adjusted.  I've checked the "dock new sidenotes to the side of the desktop" in the options.  I've seen a few other people mention this problem of locating the docking window, but so far no answers.

Thanks for the help

I had the same problem. Dragging the top bar to the right side of the screen while it's docked does the trick. It doesn't look like you are dragging it when you are doing it, but when you release it at the side of the screen, OneNote readjusts to a right-side docked position.

    Make sure you click the title of the OneNote window when docked. It will say something like "The Name of Your Page - Microsoft OneNote 2010".

    Click and hold the button down and drag your mouse all the way to the right side of the screen somewhere about half way up. The OneNote window might not move while you do this.

    Once your cursor has reached the very right edge of the screen, release the mouse button.

    I just did it by opening up a docked window from View in normal view mode.  It went to the top but then I more quickly dragged the title bar to the right side and the new docked window stuck there.  I closed out the original normal view screen and am now using the docked window on the side.  I hope it lasts!

    Nothing is working for me, no manner of dragging does it
