Thank you, Jay.
That fixed the problem. That was maddening. For the life of me, I never
imagined calling those toolbars a "ribbon", so my searches for self help were
in vain. What a horrible graphical user interface term. I would never have
imagined ribbon as something flat and horizontal.
BTW, I would rate your reply as excellent, but I see no option for rating
replies.

There are three different ways to control this:
- Double-click any of the tabs.
- Right-click any tab and check/uncheck "Minimize the Ribbon".
- Press Ctrl+F1.

Until yesterday, no matter which one tab I had selected in Word 2007,
the Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, and View
tab toolbars used to remain always visible while working on a
document. Yesterday, while working a few hours on a large Word file,
these tabs now close their toolbars when I edit directly in the Word
file. I want the selected tab's toolbar to always remain visible, as
it was before.
In vain, I have looked throughout the online Help, Word Options, and
Office Online, but I cannot find the solution. I have tried
right-clicking here and there, hoping to find some setting.
Help, please!
Thank you
