I have tried this form in several computers in the office and a few at my home and it is the same in everyone. The ones that are running Office 2010 it is not a problem but for some reason when Word 2013 opens it I have to go to the three upper tabs and select View and then Edit Document. Do you know if there is a fix for this?

Those tabs are Outlook tabs rather than Word tabs. If the form is on your computer (not in an email) do you have any problems filling it in using Word 2013? If not, then you should, in the email, tell recipients to save the attachment to their computers and open it from there. Opening a Word document directly from email and attempting to edit it is a very good way to lose your work.
