Default Some menu options are disabled in Excel

Hi Alejandro

Rename your xlb file

1. Close Excel
2. Do a search for .xlb in Windows (Use: search hidden files and folders)
3. Rename or delete the .xlb file or files (In 2002 the name = Excel10.xlb)
4. Start Excel

Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm to your system
Excel will create a new file for you.
(You lost your customization remember that)

If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others
this file is important (backup it so you can restore it)

The menu options "Insert" and "Format" in Excel are grayed out. I already
made sure that the files were not shared nor that I had a password. In fact,
it happens with all the spreadsheets, not with a specific file. I even
reinstalled Microsoft Office in my computer and the problem still remains.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
