Default Column Insert


If I select a cell and right click, I can see _I_-nsert-... highlighted
and insert function would work.

but if I select the whole column and right click, my _I_-nsert-... is
not highlighted and insert function does not work...

Is this my setting or option problem? looked everywhere and couldn't
figure out......

Are yoiu running Excel '97 and have you Merged cells in the column?

To locate merged cells, select the first cell in the column and drag
that selection downwards, the selected range will become multiple
columns if merged cells exist.

Bryan. it's Excel 2002 and I even open a brand new sheet and I'm still
not getting that _I_nsert... word when right click if I select a whole
column to try to insert a column.
It's very frustrating. thanks in advance if anyone can think of
anything....

With Excel closed, try deleting the C:\Documents and Settings\~~your
user~~\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\Excel~~.xlb file, starting
Excel will re-create this file.
