workbook and now I can insert a pic.

The new version of excel is way different than the previous version. I
want
to insert a picture on a blank worksheet however, in the Insert tab, the
icons shown under "Illustations" are greyed out and I can't selected the
"Picture" icon that will allow me to do this very basic operation.

What am I missing here? Is my version of Excel missing an add-in???
