Why can't I format a cell that already contains data?

I have a page of data in Excel 2003 that I would like to insert borders to
improve appearance, however the Cell... dropdown menu under Format doesn't
appear except on unused cells.
What am I doing wrong?

It sounds as if your sheet may be protected?
