If you are in the edit mode - the cursor is a vertical, blinking line in a
cell, many menu items and tool bar buttons will grey out. Also, the word
edit will appear on the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

This happens in all menus from time to time.
Menu items will be grayed out (unusable). The spread sheet is not
protected, nor the cells locked.
If I copy to another blank spread sheet, all will be fine.
