I would like to add interior borders to some of my cells in Excel. When I
right click in the cell and chose "Format Cells" and then "Border", I can
see
that this is a possible option, however, it is grayed out and I cannot use
it.

Seems like a simple task, but I am frustrated. Is there something I need
to
load or activate to make this option available?
