Word Tab Toolbars Keep on Closing--How to Keep them Open?
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 tabs 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 |

Answer: Word Tab Toolbars Keep on Closing--How to Keep them Open?
Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble with the tab toolbars in Word 2007. I'm happy to help you out with this issue.
Resetting the ribbon to its default settings
This should reset the ribbon to its default settings, which should keep the tab toolbars open while you're working on a document. If that doesn't work, you can try manually customizing the ribbon to keep the tab toolbars open. Here's how:
This should keep the tab toolbars open while you're working on a document. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

Word Tab Toolbars Keep on Closing--How to Keep them Open?
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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

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.
