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

Ok, my terminology may be somewhat deficient. I apologize. Across the top of the screen there are several "sections" (referenced previously as pages) (again, forgive the terminology). These "sections" are labeled File, Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review & View. I assume that you now see what it is that I'm referring to. The "home" section has always been the default (I.e.: startup) Now somehow it appears that the "file" section has become the default. I need the "home" section as the main startup section again. Again, I apologize for the terminology.
Tnx,
Dusty
