Anders,

It appears you have more than one sheet selected. Look at the tabs at the
bottom.

You can still edit with more than one sheet selected. It's probably
protected.

This usually happens when multiple worksheets are selected.
This function is useful if you want to set the page
properies the same for multiple sheets, or copy them as a
group. Check the colors of the tabs at the bottom, and
click one that is not selected. This should remove the
(group) item in your titlebar.

As to editting the document, I'm not sure.
