What Did I (they) Do?
Been using Word for who knows how long. Currently using 2010. I have no clue what I did but I really screwed it up. Word has always been defaulting to the "home" page. Today it defaults to the "file" page. I go to change fonts or font size and it takes one command then defaults back to the "file" page. Like if I hit the font larger button, you hit it once and it goes back to the file page unlike before when you can hit that same button many times. I have no clue who did what and of course you ask and no one did a thing. Help save a kid's (or wife's) life, how do I get my home page back? Tnx, Dusty |

Word doesn't have a 'home' page, or a 'file' page, and it's far from obvious what you mean.

What you're describing is Word's Ribbon, which has a variety of tabs - File, Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, View and, depending on your setup, Developer & Add-Ins. By default, Word opens with the Home tab displayed. On that tab you'll see panels for Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles & Editing. The File tab is always blue (which doesn't indicate that it's the default) and whichever of the others is active is always white. The active tab changes according to what you're doing.
I suspect that what you've done is that you've minimised the Ribbon, which means none of the tabs is active. To restore it click on the V-shaped symbol next to the ? on the right-hand side of the screen.

Ok, thanks. With my old eyes I can't even see that. But with your instructions I did locate it. Everything appears back to normal again. Now all I gotta do is lock the kids out of this room/office. Again Thank You sincerely.
