Hi,

Reproducing this from the on-line help:

Troubleshoot Excel toolbars and menus

I can't find a menu command, toolbar button, or dialog box option.
The menu might not be expanded If arrows appear at the bottom of the
menu (menu: A list of commands that is displayed when you click a menu name
on a menu bar or other toolbar.), the menu item might be available on the
expanded menu. Click the arrows, and then click the command you want. You can
also double-click the menu to expand it.
There might not be enough room to display all the buttons If the toolbar
(toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands.
To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the
Toolbars tab.) is on the same row as another toolbar, there might not be
enough room to display all the buttons. Click Toolbar Options , and then
click the button you want.
You might have a different language setting The command or control
doesn't appear if you don't have editing enabled for the language that the
command or control applies to. You need to enable editing for the language
you want to work with.

The Microsoft Office program you're using may not be maximized Some
toolbar buttons may be hidden if your program window is not maximized. Click
the Maximize button to enlarge the program window to its fullest extent.
The toolbar button you want to use may be seldom used Some toolbar buttons
may be hidden if they are seldom used. Click Customize on the Tools menu, and
then click the Commands tab to find the button you want to add to the toolbar.
I created a custom toolbar and shared it with another person, but it looks
different on their computer.

The buttons and commands that you share with another person are always
available, but whether or not they appear on the short version of the menu
(menu: A list of commands that is displayed when you click a menu name on a
menu bar or other toolbar.), or on the toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons
and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click
Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.) when there
isn't enough room to display all the buttons, depends on the individual menu
and toolbar settings for that person.
Microsoft Office stores the commands and buttons you've used frequently and
recently as your personal menu and toolbar settings. When the Always show
full menus check box is cleared (Toolbar Options arrow , Add or Remove
buttons, Customize dialog box, Options tab), these personalized settings
affect the commands that appear on each menu. Additionally, if there isn't
enough room on a toolbar to display all the buttons (such as when you
position a toolbar on the same row as another toolbar), personalized settings
affect which buttons do appear.
I can't find the Insert Script, Show All Scripts, or Remove All Scripts
command.
These commands are not included on the default menu in Microsoft Excel. To
use these commands, you must first add them to the Tools menu. For more
information, see Add a button, menu, or command.

I don't see the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
If the status bar has disappeared, you can display it again. On the View
menu, click Status Bar.

I can't click commands that are grayed out on a menu.
Menu commands are grayed out when they are not available to be used. It may
be that another action needs to happen before you can use a command. For
example, to be able to use the Paste command, you must first copy or cut
selected data in Excel or another application.

It may also be that the worksheet is protected, and specific actions cannot
be made to its locked cells and data. To unprotect a worksheet, point to
Protection on the Tools menu, and then click Unprotect sheet. You may need to
enter a password if one was set when the sheet was protected.

Are those options disabled for every workbook that you open/create?

If yes, then it sounds like someone tried to disable these commands and didn't
re-enable them when they were done.

You could try resetting that commandbar.
Tools|customize|toolbars tab
select worksheet menu bar
and hit reset

This will reset any other changes you've made to that toolbar, though.

If no, then it could be the developer's attempt to stop you from copying/pasting
in that workbook (or worksheet). But they missed the ctrl-c/ctrl-v shortcuts.

You could go back to him/her and show them the problem. They may fix it by
disabling the shortcut keys!
