Good day,

When opening up a new excel spread sheet and selecting the insert menu the
columns, rows and cells are grey and unavailable. I am using windows xp with
SP/2 and MS office 2003. I tried to run a repair and reinstall excel and this
did not fix the problem. Any help would be great! Thank you for your time.
