My operating system: Vista Ultimate and I have Microsoft ...

Sent to Computer Experts April 19 08:37 PM

My operating system: Vista Ultimate and I have Microsoft Office 2007. My Problem: in WORD, when I click on a heading of the Ribbon ( HOME, INSERT, PAGE LAYOUT, etc...), and let's say I want that a word be BOLD & UNDERLINED. When I click on BOLD, then the Ribbon is minimised and I have to click again on HOME to click Underlined. My question: how to keep the HOME ribbon OPEN until I have finished all my options in the HOME section. Thanks, Pierre

OS: Windows Vista; Browser: IE

Hi,

This normally happens if you double click on an icon or button on the Ribbon. For example if you double click on the Bold icon the Ribbon gets minimized. So I think what is happening is that you are inadvertently double clicking instead of single clicking on an item. Try to gently click once and on the B or U icon.

Hope this helps.

John:

I have tried your suggested solution: to click carefully once on BOLD. automatically, the Ribbon afterwords closes.

So I clicked TWICE on thetag HOME, and then, the HOME tag remained OPEN!

John, Am I right, i.e. in order to keep a tag open ( Home, Page laywout, etc..) one has to double click?
