Default Problems changing cell formatting

I have "inherited" a workbook used to generate budget documents. As part of
the book, there are several sheets that contain the formatted €śform€ť which
includes boxes or borders around certain cells. My problem is I cannot change
the format of these cells using the €śFormat:Cells€ť menu or the Ctrl+1
shortcut. I can however copy a format to these cells to change them.
Unfortunately, if I happen to copy something to the cell that is
€śdetrimental€ť to my formatting I play the devil getting the formatting
corrected. Another twist is I can change all of the formatting using toolbar
functions, except for the bordering. The only way I can change the bordering
is to copy another border format to the cell. What is €śwrong€ť with my
spreadsheet and how do I €ścorrect€ť it so I can manipulate the cell formatting?
