Puzzling problem: In Excel both under "Edit" and in the shortcut menu "Cut",
"Copy", "Paste" and "PasteSpecial" are grayed out.

Just started today.Files are not protected.

These commands work fine in Word and Outlook. Have closed and re-opened
Excel. and Rebooted the computer to no avail.

Can someone help me?

Excel 2003,(Office 2003 Pro) Windows XP Pro SP3 Tablet Edition.
