Menu Jumping From Home To Other Options
Hello All,
Greetings and thank you for having me at your forum. I'm on Windows10, Home and Office/Desktop version, 2019. My issue with Word is this: I always keep the Menu options visible and always in "Home." Supposedly it's only supposed to go to another Menu option when you click on that option. But I often find the Menu jumping suddenly to Insert or Design or whichever, without my clicking on them. I do notice that it usually seems to occur when I run the cursor over the menu area--not clicking on any buttons just running it over the area. I actually just made it happen--which I usually cannot do voluntarily--by running it over "find/replace." When I tried again it didn't work! Thanks for any help. |

A mouse wheel will change tabs.

Ah, so that's what's doing it? I'm probably tapping it or something when I move the mouse (cursor) up to save or do something else. Does that sound like it Charles? |

Depending on what your actions are, the ribbon tabs can and do change.
If you insert a new table, two context sensitive tabs appear on the end of the ribbon and the Table Tools/Design tab is activated. If you insert a picture, Picture Tools/Format appears and is activated. I presume there are other innocuous events that cause ribbon tabs to change focus. You can also change ribbon tabs by inadvertently pressing the Alt key and then a letter. For instance Alt followed by N will activate the Insert Ribbon tab. If you are seeing the tab change as you mouse over the tabs then perhaps your hardware can be a factor. If you are using a touchpad or a mouse with a very light button it can be easy to click without noticing.
