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

1. Click on the Office button (the round button in the top left corner of the screen).
2. Click on "Word Options" at the bottom of the menu.
3. Click on "Customize" in the left-hand pane.
4. Click on the "Reset" button at the bottom of the window.
5. Click "Yes" to confirm that you want to reset the ribbon.

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:

1. Click on the Office button.
2. Click on "Word Options."
3. Click on "Customize" in the left-hand pane.
4. Under "Choose commands from," select "All Tabs."
5. Click on the tab whose toolbar you want to keep open.
6. Click on the "Add" button to add the toolbar to the ribbon.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each tab whose toolbar you want to keep open.
8. Click "OK" to save your changes.

This should keep the tab toolbars open while you're working on a document. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
