Excel: How to make the Home tab "stay put"

This is a new problem (have not experienced it before; am running Excel 2010).

The workbook opens with the File tab active. So I switch to the Home tab to do some editing. The problem is that after just one edit (such as changing the color of a cell), the File tab becomes the active tab again. So to continue with editing, I have to switch back to the Home tab.

I thought maybe there was Display setting that needed to be checked in (or out), but as best I can tell, there's no option controlling active/inactive tabs.

How do I make the Home tab stay active with having to repeatedly switch back to it?

This worked for me.

  1. Go to Home tab and right click to show the toolbar options.
  2. Disable (uncheck) the minimize ribbon button.
