Im still fairly new at this, but i know what your talking about. You need to make sure that you are not working at full screen, make sure (its in the right hand corner) that your tiling your windows. you can minimize the pages that your not using, and only keep your layout page up, then go to your pallet window and just click on the element/paper that you want, once that comes up, hold mouse down on element/page and move them over to your LO page.

I did the beginners tutorial a few times to get the basics of how the page structure worked in PSE 4 It helped alot.

I hope i didn't confuse you..
