Keeping "Home" as my current tab

[dkfalmouth]

MS Word 2013 is driving me crazy because every time I type in a document the active tab at the top of the window becomes inactive. I like to have "Home" activated while I work because - obviously - most of the commonly used features are there (bullets, numbering, etc.). So it's very aggravating that, whenever I want to use a function in the "Home" menu bar, I have to activate it 1st. This happens to any tab that I have activated (Insert, Page Layout, etc.). As soon as I type, the tab becomes in active.

How can I get Word to leave whatever tab is active at the top active?
