I am having a problem with the Ribbon Bar in Word 2013. By default when I open a document the "File" tab is selected. if I select another tab such as "Home" the tools and options come up for that tab but the "File" tab remains the selected tab (blue highlight).
When I click down into the document, the "Home" or other selected tab option I just selected disappear and I am back to the File tab.
Obviously this makes the workflow very cumbersome as I have to re-select the tab I need each time I want to use the tools for it.
Any help is appreciated on how to keep this from happening.
Just because the File tab is blue does NOT mean that it is selected. Perhaps the issue is that you have the ribbon collapsed. Double click on a tab to keep it displayed.
